A whlie ago a learn from a discussion on another ralifan forum that that US has a federal law restricting transit companies from offering charter services, whether on roads or rails. The regulation was there to stop trasnit bus who benefit from federal funding and tax exemptions from competing with for-profit private bus operators.
Apparently if say a high school is going on a excusion on a chartered vehicle, let's say it can be done by streetcar, and a private carrier can also do so by bus, then the high school may be denied the rail option all because of a regulation that was originally passed to stop federally funded bus operators from competing with private charter services.
