Bill: The Train Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Likatonian Freedom Party
Status[?]: defeated
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 5089
Description[?]:
| The fact that we have one publicly owned TOC is an issue. This denies private operators the opportunity to start their own business. It is better to allow private, regulated interests to be free to start their own railways, etc. We will still operate a public system, to compete with the privately owned ones. Doing so could bring railway systems to regions the government cannot, or is not funded well enough to, access. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change Train Operating Companies (TOC).
Old value:: There is a single publicly owned TOC.
Current: Private companies operate TOCs throughout the country.
Proposed: The State owns and operates a national TOC, alongside private TOCs.
