“Why is it still called public transport when it gets privatized?”
Public transport is one giant advertisement. Inside has a strip of posters of everything from health to where to take the kids to pre-school. On my local bus… there is scan codes to put more advertisement on your phone! It goes with an app that tells you where your bus is on its way… and what stores you can go to that is within the stop’s location. The bike rack has a space for ads as well! And if that does not satisfy the crave to get your money… the whole bus can get what is known as a “skin” to be one colorful billboard of advertisement for your product/company. I keep looking for the ad that will advertise to advertise!
For the same reason that British “public schools” are “public”—because anyone who can pay can get in (as opposed to a school that only admits the children of members of such-and-such a church).
