Title: Massive Transit Crisis
Description: Entire Mass Transit systems everywhere in @@NAME@@ stopped working, leading up to a massive debate about how this should be stopped from ever happening again.
Validity: Not valid for nations who do not direct any money towards Public Transport
Options:
[option]"This obviously happened because we can't afford to maintain our Metros and bus systems." says @@RANDOMNAME@@, your minister of overpricing services. "We must get more @@CURRENCY@@, and the best way to do that is inreasing metro and bus fares."
[effect]Mass Transit fares have soared to astronomical levels
[stats] public transport spending decreases slightly, equality decreases, taxes decrease
[option]"Actually, I don't think we should that we need to pay to use mass transit anyway" argues tax collector @@RANDOMNAME@@ "If the mass transit systems are owned by the government, we can just make them tax-funded."
[effect] taxes are directed on mass transit maintenecne
[stats]taxes increase, public transport spending increases, equality increases
[option]"The goverment has too little time, not too little money to handle this. The nations mass transit systems are down because the goverment obviously can't handle running a mass transit system if they are busy with other affairs as well" notes wealthy buisnessperson @@RANDOMNAME@@ "If the mass transit systems were privately owned, we could maintain the systems well without being interrupted with other affairs."
[effect]all mass transit systems are privately owned and operated
[stats]economy increases, public transport spending decreases to 0, automobile manufacturing decreases, equality deccreases
[option]"No, we get so little help because we have so little help, is because less and less people use mass transit everyday, which means we collect less money from fares" argues @@RANDOMNAME@@, an environmentalist "the best solution is to ban cars. Not only will this get more people to use mass transit, but this will also signifigantly improve the environment, as it will eliminate a large source of pollution."
[effect]mass transit is usually the onlyway to get from place to place
[stats]enivornment improves, environment spending increases, public transport spending increases, automobile manufacturing decreases, economy decreases
[option]"Those are all excellent ideas to get more maintence, but this is all because of terrorism" says @@RANDOMNAME@@, a security guard "our mass transit security levels are far from aquedate, lets raise them."
[effect]citizens have to go through bag checks and metal dectors before boarding mass transit systems
[stats]defence spending increases, civil rights decrease, crime decreases
[option]"Who needs mass transit anyway?" asks @@RANDOMNAME@@ The head of an automobile company."Why should the governement flush thousands of @@CURRENCY@@ down the toilet to maintain mass transit when we all have cars? We should just get rid of mass transit, so that the government can concentrate on more important things."
[effects]citzens cannot leave their houses without a car, if they can survive the crippling gridlock
[stats]automobile manufacturing increases, public transport spending decreases to 0, environment worssens, economy improves
