Why all this talk about privatising a proportion of the services operated by Dublin Bus and Bus Éireann?
Who owns and operates the buses, the U-Bahn and the S Bahn in Berlin? It works well.

Wikipedia says the following "The S-Bahn is currently managed by the S-Bahn Berlin GmbH, a subsidiary company of DBAG."

In times where cities even privatize there waternetwork etc is that not a suprise to me!
The word 'privat' comes from the latin word privare which means more or less 'to bereave'.
(Herkunft:
im 16. Jahrhundert von lateinisch privatus → la "privat" entlehnt, Partizip zu lateinisch privare "trennen", "berauben", wörtlich also "beraubt" http://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/privat#cite_note-1 )
If that be so why is the DB logo on all S Bahn units?
Wikipedia:
"Although the S- and U-Bahn are part of a unified fare system, they have different operators. The S-Bahn is operated by S-Bahn Berlin GmbH, a subsidiary of the Deutsche Bahn, whilst the U-Bahn is run by BVG, the main public transit company for the city of Berlin."
