Description[?]:
| Local Governments cannot decide policies on public transportation, it must be the same everywhere. Nationwide people pay different prices for public transportation in different areas. If you are traveling from Hosamia to Sammodra by bus, you might pay 15MRD when you get off however, when you travel back from Sammodra to Hosamia, you may pay 20 or 30MRD. We cannot have a public transportation system where different people pay different prices, it must be the same for everyone based on nationally set policy. The government should be subsiding fares for all people so that travel is affordable for all but they their share of fares. Adam Murphy President of the Tea Party |

| Message | Sometimes we have trouble understanding the Tea Party's Socialist policies. The current policy absolutely should not be changed. If local governments want to provide public transportation then that is up to the taxpayers of the local governments. Otherwise, the free market should not be interfered with. Any interference distorts the Market. Is it fair that somebody who does not use public transportation has to subsidize the people who do? The answer is of course no. |

| Message | The issue with subsidization is that it only lines the pockets of the rich company owners and artificially inflates prices. |
