No. The government would have an advantage over small business, just like the corporations do. In fact more so, because they would be in a position to set regulations that suit them without the need for lobbying.

I don't think government should be competing with private businesses. But your natural monopolies which constitute critical infrastructure... these should be run for the benfit of the nation, for overal economic interests, and not by a private business making profit.

If the trains were free, people would travel more, and spend more.
