The customers pay the city, not the provider

Oh, I see, yes, there could be even more radical privatization but that would occur only in some radical Ayn Randian situation in which the government was no longer responsible for the roads, no? In a situation in which governments still build and maintain roads, what kind of scenario would be more privatized than this?

The city tells the contractors how many trucks they want on the road.

Does the city tell the contractors this? Why, wouldn't they just tell them how quickly they needed the work done?
