The fire department isn't profitable. Still a good idea to have it. Army's not profitable. Sidewalks aren't profitable. Don't get me started on libraries... What's the point of money if we're only going to use it to make more of it?

robertAngst didn't say "it's unprofitable, therefore we shouldn't run it" but "it's unprofitable, therefore buses are probably running mostly empty, which is environmentally irresponsible". It's a fair question. If the attendance is truly low, maybe a subsidized taxi service would be a better replacement, for example.

Living in rural areas isn't a right but a privilege. It is economically and environmentally inefficient. Rural areas should be designated for food production and tourism.

>The fire department isn't profitable. I doubt that. Especially combined with home insurance.
