Editing Monopoly (section)

=== Transportation ===
The [[United Aircraft and Transport Corporation]] was an aircraft manufacturer holding company that was forced to divest itself of airlines in 1934.

[[Iarnród Éireann]], the Irish Railway authority, is a current monopoly as [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]] does not have the size for more companies.

The [[Long Island Rail Road]] (LIRR) was founded in 1834, and since the mid-1800s has provided train service between [[Long Island]] and [[New York City]]. In the 1870s, LIRR became the sole railroad in that area through a series of acquisitions and consolidations. In 2013, the LIRR's [[commuter rail]] system is the busiest commuter railroad in North America, serving nearly 335,000 passengers daily.<ref>{{citation | url = http://www.apta.com/resources/statistics/Documents/Ridership/2013-q1-ridership-APTA.pdf | title = TRANSIT RIDERSHIP REPORT: First Quarter 2013 | date = 24 May 2013 | publisher = American Public Transportation Association | first = Matthew | last = Dickens | access-date = 3 January 2014}}</ref>
