"The fact that Japans economy was in a boon throughout much of the period post privatization so there was plenty of demand for rail travel."

those private rail companies also have realestate ventures to bring in more money. one of the private companies get 20% of it's revenue from it's real-estate business.

pretty sure the japan rail is heavily regulated too.

the narrator doesn't attribute japans rail success to the fact that they were privatized.

A.I investments ain't slowing down anytime soon so i wouldn't be surprised if the state gets another budget surplus.

The state will have to slash spending, cut services, layoffs etc no other way around.

Cali was in a boon when the rail was undertaken as well... the issue has been the handling.
They made it work... we should take notes.
