The profit motive encourages more service, not less. You don't need to stop running one existing bus line. Keep funding them. Simply allow private individuals to provide whatever other transportation option where they can make money. Let DDOT keep pissing money, and occasionally running busses on time. But stop the current monopoly.

Can anyone tell us why private transportation and jitneys were banned from the streets? Were there significant problems that couldn't be honestly managed, or was it a money-grab by gov't. What's the story of monopoly civic busses?
How are Uber and Lyft not privately operated for profit public transportation enterprises? They certainly have carved a competitive profitable niche.
