How? Efficiency and common sense, two things government has no need for. I imagine they have less overhead and lower wages/benefits, smarter contracts, etc... They have incentive to save money on supplies/service contracts, etc.. where the government employee has no such motivation as long as it fits in the budget what's the harm.

This is a non-answer. Gubmit is stupid, the workers are lazy and this is how a private business got the work. I have always guessed that this is not the level of detail you find acceptable in your personal and your professional life.
Who owned the school buses then.....and who owns them now? Am I wasting my time. Perhaps the fact that a private business is now servicing a contract, and the budget is less......perhaps that's all you care to know? It certainly fits your preconceptions, and so maybe it's not a good idea for you to understand how the company is using your tax dollars to transport your children to school? Not as important as being able to badmouth a government organization?
