How is the co-op mode done in CiM2? We're thinking about starting off in CiM2 with a friend in co-op, but are wondering whether each player has their own bank account or do you share all money. I could see it being frustrating if the other player uses up all the money available and you can't focus on your own work before the income starts rolling in again.

I am almost certain that you will have your own money. You will basically be two seperate companies working together towards a common goal. It will probably be possible to transfer money between players though.
I never thought you could have separate money and/or companies. I think you will be working on a single company with common money, thus this will certainly need good communication - I'm almost sure about an ingame chat, but we also need something like a planning and highliting tool, to show what you're talking about in a better understandable way.
Yep, they said Coop is a single company, whereas in versus mode each player has it's own company. But those companies/the players can cooperate.

That sounds like an oversight to me which calls for a mod or a patch after release. It would be much more enjoyable if you had a co-op mode where each player had their own budget, but players could see each others balance and gift each other when necessary.
But I'll have to try it out first to be sure. I hope I'm wrong and the co-op works great as it is.

Nothing prevents you to choose the competitive option so that each player gets its own company, and then to behave cooperatively during the game.
The fact we share the same company in cooperative mode seems more logical to me though. But indeed, we'll soon find out what it's all about.
I know in Bucharest the public transportation system is governed by two companies. One RatB, that provides bus and tram services across the city, and the other MetroRex, that is creditable for the 4 current lines that run under the city.
These companies both work in collaboration, and can offer tickets that cover all bus, tram and metro services. There's future plans for both companies to merge
King County (the county containing Seattle) has one public entity operating buses and a streetcar, a separate public entity operating buses, a separate public entity operating ferries, a separate public entity operating water taxis, a private company operating and a private company operating buses, light rail, and commuter trains.I know in Bucharest the public transportation system is governed by two companies.

I don't know; but in Hong Kong there are:
1 (once 2) Private, but largely-government-held, railway company, with the government's position crippled as it must act in the company's interests;
1 Private company for the Tramway;
1 Private company for the Peak tram;
Nominally 5, practically 2, private (major) companies for Franchised buses, total of ~6000 buses, mostly double-deckers or "large" in euro terms;
Numerous private bus comapnies, some work under franchise, some under permit, some are private operators which the government can hardly regulate (except by granting vehicle licences), with a total of ~8000 buses of various sizes, from as small as 16 seats to ~61 seats;
No single taxi operating authority, again with the number artificially limited by a licence system, in theory if someone owns a licence for the car and driver one can trade;
Numerous ferry companies, working under franchise;
In a city which the nominal population density is near 7k/sqkm but practically its more like 30k/sqkm as only a quarter is built up land.
It's actually pretty good service. The light rail is brand new so it doesn't cover much of the city yet, but it's expanding. You can buy a pass that works on something like 7 or 8 companies across 4 counties and all the different bus companies share stops, so if not for paint jobs you wouldn't really notice all the different companies. They work together very well.
