On their property they can impose whatever rules they like.

Not quite. They can't impose rules prohibiting negroes, or pregnant
women, or cripples. And there is still a feeling that they are a
public service, and somewhat of a "natural monopoly", so they don't
have the absolute freedom you suggest.

I suspect any intelligent person would recognise that "within the law of the
land" was implicit in my statement.
