      It wasn't a general nationwide protest against "the bus industry", it wasn't aimed at shaving 0.05 points off giant revenue figures

      That's kind of the ugly truth about boycotts - they work best locally against local power

      A boycott can really fuck up a small business, or a local chain, or even a municipal public transit system

      But against a large corporation they're weak. That's the point of having a large corporation, that's what corporations are for

      A sub-point here is that the "buyers" who were boycotting were making a very serious life change

      Not riding the bus anymore meant changing how you did your daily commute and how you as a non car owner traveled in general

      Which is why the economic impact mattered. They notice if you stop doing something you do every day

      If it's an occasional, luxury purchase - buying books, watching movies - the effect is far more dilute

      There's the ugly corollary of that point - it's very hard for a boycott to be effective that doesn't inflict pain on the boycotters

      Boycotts are damaging when they had a very good reason to expect your loyalty and you become disloyal anyway

      The last point is there was a very clear thing the boycotters wanted - erasing the line between the black and white sections of the bus

          A goal that was simple, easy to do and - importantly - didn't objectively cost all that much

          That was really important. It gave an obvious exit strategy to both sides
