- manarth 4mo agoSome correlation but not necessarily causation. Passenger numbers start rising before privatisation, and that was attributed to an uptick in the economy (after a period of recession).
- ahartmetz 4mo agoPassenger numbers also roughly doubled in Germany 1994 to now even though there was only a weak privatisation (state-owned private company).
