That said, M1-Rail insists that the system is complete charity and that none of the business owners are gaming the system to try and make money off of it. Really, who knows? That's one of the problems of a private entity: there is no requirement for public transparency.

Unfortunately, there's often little transparency in prublic entities as well.
