This organization desperately needs an overhaul. for such critical infrastructure we’ve seen barely any capacity improvements in decades and it’s become totally unreliable, even for popular routes like Van-Vic.
You see, it’s more efficient to throw huge amounts of money at companies so they maybe run a public service. You can’t just have the government do it, that’s too much bureaucracy. Instead you need to add a whole nother private bureaucracy on top of that. If it more effective at meeting goals, no. Does it let my friends pocket a shit ton of taxpayer money while at the same time wining about how wasteful government spending is, yes. Very yes.

Google “public private partnership”, and rejoice knowing the CEO of a highway system is fine.

The only partnership involved is government being able to wash their hands of the entire issue.
