Russia didn't splinter with the fall of the USSR. People who had control of the nukes retained their control. And Ukraine was forced to move theirs to Russia.
I mean there was some Nazi guy caught masturbating to gay porn and his Nazi supporters now claim it's the Jew provocation. Do you really expect a different outcome here?
Pretty much every industry in a developed country. Every decent country will have private and social healthcare which compete with each other. It will also have a whole range of private and government owned transport options. And oil rich countries like Norway will have both public and private oil companies.
From my own experience, if you're poor, you use a regular bus. If you want to get somewhere faster, you pay more and catch a shuttle. If you want comfort, you pay even more and get a taxi. And all modes of transport are always full to the brim. The more the merrier, always.
They didn't reinvent anything, private small scale shuttle buses have existed since forever. If you don't have them in your city it doesn't mean that's a brand new thing.
And lose all the money? Haha, no.
