The privatization of transport refers to the process of shifting responsibility regarding the provision of public transport or service from the public to the private sector.〔Black (2003), p. 295〕 ==Introduction==
Transit privatization is highly controversial, with proponents claiming great potential benefits and detractors pointing to cases where privatization has been highly problematic. One important argument in this respect is the consideration of public transport as a merit good. The rationale behind it is the idea that governments should guarantee basic service in public transport to deprived customer groups despite the fact that it is economically irrational. While the subsidization of public transport is basically not contested, the important question in the public vs. private debate refers to the optimal level of subsidy. 〔International Transport Forum (2008), pp. 15-16〕 Today there are no real answers to this issue, but Japanese policy to have a relatively free transportation market is considered to function well in providing transport to Japan's three major metropolitan areas. The country's flagship high-speed line, the Tokaido Shinkansen, has operated for almost half a century without a single derailment or collision, and in 2007, its average departure delay was a mere 18 seconds along its 320-mile route. 〔 http://www.citylab.com/commute/2011/10/why-tokyos-privately-owned-rail-systems-work-so-well/389/ 〕
