Interesting move buying the buses/ferries. Quite a significant shift in focus I feel. Up to now has all been about buying infrastructure. Now it will also be a public transport operator. Much bigger risks, much slimmer margins. Stagecoach has been very successful in the UK, but it is a different structure there with competing bus operators. Here it is basically one in each city (with a couple of routes being exceptions).
I disagree with the above article, I don't see that it fits their philosophy at all. Plenty of companies that do, e.g. Aussie toll road operators
What next? MFT? AIR?
