Are we talking bus wars, which was a phrase coined to describe intense competition between rival bus companies following bus deregulation in 1986.
In many cases there was some dangerous practices, speeding, cutting-up rival operators, and jumping red traffic signals were common. The service also suffered as bus passengers were often ignored at stops with low passenger numbers in order to ensure you would reach the more lucrative stops first.
