When Free Market Transit Goes Bad....

A Yahoo! News article reports that one assault, two murders, and two burning buses may be the product of battling transit operators:

Police fear a turf war between operators of bargain bus trips between Philadelphia and New York City may be to blame for two killings, an assault and two bus fires. The Manhattan District Attorney's Office declined to comment on a report in the New York Post that prosecutors were investigating possible Chinese organized crime links to Today's Travel Inc. of New York and New Century Travel Inc. of Philadelphia.

"In order to make the big money, they have to put away the competitor first," said Robin Mui of the Sing Tao Daily, a Chinese-language newspaper in New York.

At least when you take Greyhound it's the other passengers who try to hurt you, not the bus operator.
