Either way, a fair number of people, especially all those students.

And if revenue is $1 billion after cutting third-half of stops, subsidizing service should be about the same. Trivial. Hell, at a rough estimate, service to every little town every hour would then cost about $40 billion/year. I get a matching estimate from imagining putting a bus an hour apart along all the roads of the US. So, yeah, I see your liberal and raise to social democrat.

Wrong link though, I meant http://www.eurotrib.com/story/2009/5/1/174635/6513 . Long but meaty, especially the analysis that "leave it up to the market" actually has an intrinsic anti-renewable bias, due to the financing difference.
