Jim, perhaps because you're in the UK, you fail to appreciate the difference between what is considered public, and private transportation here in the US. Public transportation is paid for by taxes. It's owned by a government entity. Airlines, taxi companies, Greyhound, etc are all private businesses, and not "public transportation."
