Bill: PUBLIC TRANSPORT ACT OF 4605
Details
Submitted by[?]: Baltusian Conservative 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: January 4606
Description[?]:
| The Baltusian Conservative Party proposes to make reforms in public transport funding: the new policy will be “public transport is fully users-pays,” changing the current “public transport is partially subsidised with the remainder user-pays.” Based on the public opinion poll held among the citizens of the United States of Baltusia last December 4604, a majority percentage of 32.25% Baltusians said they were in favor of “Public transport is fully user-pays”. Only 8.26% of the Baltusian people agrees with the current policy “Public transport is fully subsidised for people with low-income, with the remainder user-pays.” Baltusia, as a democratic country whose sovereign rights belong to the people, has a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Thus, we must listen to what most of our citizens say regarding the matter. |

Article 1
Proposal[?] to change Funding of public transport (where applicable).
Old value:: Public transport is partially subsidised with the remainder "user-pays".
