But it seems govt. is trying to frachise it service for a weird reason -- plying with luxury buses. Usually big corporations frachise their "brand" to seep into farther/remote points of customers than to attract different segment of customers. That is, frachise option works for geographical strategy and not segment strategy. But it seems by doing frachise option govt. is trying to wash-away "more paying" segment. This move would prove to be detrimental to the transport corporation's income. Once people turn bit more affordable they would expect more features/comfort, then the govt. would lose more of its customers. So totally turning the "more-paying" segment into private operators hand is simply giving the operators exploit these people. This kind of privatisation is totally irresponsible and insensitive. That way I too feel this move to be an unwelcome one and probably done with some ugly ulterior motive. Hence I oppose it. But I do not oppose it "idealogically", which is also detrimental. So, to me, as such this opposition is good but I differ in the way. Yours too seem to be an idealogical opposition to this issue. :-) Ferro,
