This article is weirdly biased towards a free market perspective. There is lots of evidence that in many area privatisation has been a negative for rail services. This should be discussed.

Very very poorly written. Needs to see improvement or should be deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.133.163.72 (talk) 18:09, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article has few facts and reads as a defense of transit privitization. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.188.195.99 (talk) 10:05, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This needs to be either re-written to be factual and balanced or deleted! Eric Doherty (talk) 17:44, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed! I've added a tag to this effect Lucaswilkins (talk) 01:57, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This article may indeed be a candidate for deletion. Although the topic matter may be relevant, there are hardly any tangible facts. The article reads like an opinion essay for school rather than an encyclopedia entry. I often suggest a re-write but this one must be done from scratch. --Arquenevis (talk) 18:34, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If anybody reading this is anti-privatisation, please add to the article by writing about the problems privatisation has caused. I am pro-privatisation, but all viewpoints should be included.

This article is really a mess, besides the obvious lack of content it appears very biased towards privatization and doesn't really talk about effects or talk about other countries besides the US and UK (for example, Japan and Italy both have a lot of information relating to this). I'll try to improve it myself, but if a more experienced editor could also look at this and suggest some improvements that would be great. - LostInInfinity (contribs - talk) 14:48, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
