They presented it more as opportunism than outright conspiracy, but the automakers do seem to have bought up transit systems with no intention of maintaining them in working order. I don't especially blame them for it (it's good business, and I'd have done the same) but it makes their current pleading to be bailed out 'for the good of the country' all the more contemptible.
