| Message | We feel cheaper prices result from the fact that with the state being the sole purchaser of all resources to fund public transport it can keep prices down. |

| Message | It's a simple economy of scale. The bigger the organisation, and the more leverage it can swing, the better prices it can get from it's suppliers. And - they don't come bigger or swingier than the whooe government. |
