Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that the United States' transportation problem has three essential, interdependent elements: rates, service, and financial return. The author, an expert in the field of transportation, claims that in order for any of these areas to be addressed properly, the other two components must be considered simultaneously. The writer explores many different facets of railway economics in great detail, including costs, discrimination between shippers, and government regulation. The author contends that the principles of cost of service and value of service must be weighed together to reach fair conclusions in the area of rate-setting.
