Die DDR-Reichsbahn hatte sechs Feinde: Frühling, Sommer, Herbst, Winter, Tag und Nacht.
Die "Deutsche Bahn" hat offensichtlich dieselben.
Wenn ein Unternehmen sich nicht am Markt bewähren muss, dann muss es mit fremden statt mit selbst verdientem Geld künstlich am Leben erhalten werden, wie jedes totgeborene Kind. Die Effektivität des Unternehmens wird dabei nicht besser, egal wieviel Geld man draufschmeißt.
Und jetzt soll mir keiner mit dem Beispiel Großbritannien kommen. Die dortige "Privatisierung" war eine propagandistische Luftnummer aber keine Marktwirtschaft [1].
Echte Bahnprivatisierung funktioniert hervorragend - bis der Staat es wieder kaputt macht [2].

The story of British railway privatization since the 1990s is not one of free markets; rather, it is one typical of political society today where the free market has been blamed for what amounts to the spectacular failure of state intervention. You scratch beneath the surface just a bit, and you find that the state has managed to take a dictatorial role in what is presented as a private business. The inability of the Conservative Party to acknowledge that this façade of privatization would fail has led to a complete reversal of public opinion in that the public now heavily favors nationalization of the entire railway network.

Although the New York City subways were never privately owned, private transportation companies operated in the first thirty-six years of the subways under a city franchise contract. The best of the private transportation companies, the Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT), generated strong profits (...) Even into the 1920s, when price controls and rising costs as a result of the inflation of World War I were starting to squeeze profits, when private operators unsuccessfully sued to raise fares, the subways still were in the black. But the “Good Government” goo goos, progressive leaders often hostile to private enterprise because it was often profitable, opposed it, arguing for a public system. (...) The IRT inevitably started to lose money in the 1930s owing to the fare freeze. Service declined. (...) The government took over from the last private management company in 1940 and started to destroy its accomplishments. “So superbly engineered and maintained had the system previously been that it took years for the systematic neglect to take its toll,” Caro wrote
