Bill: Mass Transit Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: AM Populist Social Democrats
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: August 2341
Description[?]:
| Whereas, People who take mass transit are either using it because they cannot afford cars or because of a choice, one which lessens traffic congestion as well as pollution, and Whereas, It is also desirable for those without cars to be able to make it to work, We propose to subsidize mass transit. However, We also propose to allow private rail companies, currently banned, to exist, seeing no need for a government monopoly on rail travel and believing competition would drive costs to passengers down. |
