> they are fined NS is state-owned so all fines are just money transfer between two branches of the government. Also, they know that "the trains fail with current amount of public funding, I wonder if less funding will improve the situation" is not good logic. Therefore there won't be any actual fines. > and I think in an extreme case they can lose their concession And then what? Most of the country will be left without trains? The company will be dissolved and replaced by the Chinese? Not gonna happen. | ||

> the trains fail with current amount of public funding, I wonder if less funding will improve the situation" is not good logic Tell that to the current government (and most of the previous governments in recent years). You can't put money into it! Guess NS will just have to increase ticket prices _again_. | ||
