Bill: Transport Investments Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Beluz Democratic Karavist Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: September 3286
Description[?]:
| The government would be less burdened if the regional road & rail systems were privatized. The government can keep control of the national transport networks, but we can leave the regional ones up to private companies in those regions. By doing this, we provide private sector jobs, and we force a form of competition that demands consideration for customer needs. This competition will drive the price down, while moderately improving the quality, of service, that is provided by both private and public systems. |
