"Either way, residents and businesses lose while a foreign company profits," charges Congressman Frank Wolf. "It is my hope that this advisory committee will introduce TRIP II [the Macquarie-owned local operator] to the concept of being accountable to the people it claims to serve."

In this case. if a price cut increases volume of traffic its a win win sitution.
