ABSTRACT
This chapter argues that our mandated task would be made easier if the narrow standard price/quality/quantity based definition of predation were enlarged to include the market for all regulation, as firms' actions aim as much at modifying the framework of their activities as they target their competitors within a given framework. In view of the massive subsidies received by many land modes, the link between economic efficiency and the marginal resource use test of anti-predation legislation may reside only in the feedback loop. The larger issue raised is that of competition within urban (and intercity) transit markets and of whether the benefits of network coordination in transit networks are compatible with competition with collective taxis. From the perspective of the some preys, there is hope that the reestablishment of former intermodal competition in this area would durably revive the cadavers, and analysts should deal with the 'observed zeroes' of missing modes.
