David, thank you for an excellent discussion of a very frustrating topic.

As a tour guide myself, I resent Tourmobile being given a government sponsored monopoly. If they wish to compete in a free market, more power to them.

It's quite frustrating to me when a group asks to begin their tour at the Lincoln Memorial or FDR. I have no easy way to get there that doesn't require a mile walk. Not that I'm adverse to walking, it's my main mode of transportation. I'm just against doing it to support Tourmobile's monopoly.

The "if you take away our monopoly, then private companies will take over our business" argument is one in favor of dropping the monopoly, not keeping it.
