Wisconsin Rail Commission Upholds Higher Passenger Rates
The Wisconsin Railroad Commission orders a 24 cent per mile maximum for intra state passenger fares with a possible later move to 2.5 cents per mile. It argues passenger revenue must cover costs and that a two cent rate could force higher freight charges hurting farmers and manufacturers statewide. The decision covers several rail lines and promises no immediate further cut without solid data.
