As you may have seen in my last post, Greyhound services will stay in Keene. Part of the news report from the Sentinel said that it was due to them coming to an agreement with the Vermont DOT. Turns out that the agreement in question was regarding a subsidy.
Yes, Greyhound is apparently now a government funded operation. Actually, this probably isn’t the first time they have taken money from the state. I am curious as to how many of their routes are subsidized.
It is hard to blame them. Businesses in the transportation industry are heavily regulated, so it is understandable why one would take a subsidy if it were available, though strings are likely attached.
More state involvement leads to further state involvement. Ugh.
