The Railroad Passenger Problem: American And British Experiences As Bases For A New Model, Vincent J. Tolve Jan 1973

The Railroad Passenger Problem: American And British Experiences As Bases For A New Model, Vincent J. Tolve

The article implies that the profit standard inadequately measures the success of a public utility, and suggests the adoption of an eclectic standard that measures enterprise success in terms of economic viability, response to public need, and quality of service rendered. The proposed model involves the rediscovery, application, and combination of two organizational concepts: the public corporation and the interstate compact.

A Proposal To Prevent The Stranding Of Airline Passengers, Richard J. Gray

The purpose of this detailed examination is to make possible the formulation of policy recommendations capable of serving as a basis for regulatory reform.
