Size is irrelevant (skip the jokes). And so what if it makes a loss - since

to get to work to generate profits.

That's right. Now look at subsidies for public transport in other
countries and you may find the answer. In any case, the Oyster fare cap
isn't that bad a deal, and bus trips are pretty cheap here.

The Kiev Metro began operation in 1960; probably about the same time
the OP had a rational thought.
