I feel bad asking (and please feel free to just say "no" and ignore me 
) but can someone explain what any of this "P3" discussion means? I really don't understand at all. I think I get the basic jist that "Private-Public Partnership" means the Government is going to pay a private company to "Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Maintain" the system. Basically saying "We give you money, you make it happen and operate as a company"... as opposed to them just doing it all themselves. I get that sort of. But like, what does this "concern" come from with regard to raising prices and all that jazz? I thought that Grandlinq was getting a fixed amount of money, that is a very-well known number, from the Government...
Again, I'm sorry but I just have no clue how business or this P3 thing works at all. I can tell you in great detail how any aspect of the trains work mechanically (please ask!), but when it comes to how the logistics of a project actually works from a financial perspective I have no idea.
