As far as by privatization goes, I don’t much care for it with busses. But I’m having trouble seeing the issue here with the train, other than the financials which seem favorable to the corporation.

well line9's profit is minus... (except for 2014 due to some accounting stuff...)

Here in Nassau Co, NY there was a lot of discussion that Viola was interested to take over running the bus business, because it would give them a toe-hold in the county and chance to get contracts for a sewer project, which the parent company was also into. I don’t know if it’s gone the way they wanted, but you can get the play.
