But, to agree with each other than they must stop selling tickets for less than what it costs to deliver the service (which in my estimation will ultimately jeopardize the transportation industry, ergo the nation's economy) is just good, smart business practice, not collusion.[post="197293"][/post]
Call it what you want, but when competitors attempt to coordinate pricing in a deregulated environment, it's illegal, therefore collusive, behavior.
Then again, I'm sure you know more about antitrust issues than the folks at the DOJ...
