Because transportation agencies are government-owned, they don't have to ensure a regulated system of safety for their customers. They can more easily and cheaply assign police forces for jobs and repairs. Utilizing government subsidiaries helps them have more funding than private projects have to work with.
Transportation agencies allow for a simple government-run system of transportation, whether through large systems of public railways or through a national highway system. Government planners take time to make one system that works best for the general population. On the other end, only one system is in charge of regulation and licensing, allowing for an easy-to-understand system.
Massive projects take time and cost a lot of money for the taxpayer. Costs include the actual materials used to complete the project for any labor on the job. Use of taxpayer money for projects such as public transportation is a hot debate topic in local and national governments.
Anyone who has visited a motor vehicle office or applied for forms at a government agency knows about the large amount of bureaucracy involved at these institutions. These government projects and organizations aren't run efficiently and often use more resources than planned. When a project goes over budget or an employee has to work overtime, the taxpayer has to pay more money.
