Last Exit: Privatization and Deregulation of the U.S. Transportation System - Paperback

by Clifford Winston (Author)

The case for subsequent public ownership and management of the system was weak, in his view, and here he assesses the case for privatization and deregulation to greatly improve Americans' satisfaction with their transportation systems.
