"If the commission were to oversee the shop crews and maintainance employees...
A. They will pay the salaries of these employees, correct?
B. They will fund the maintainance and upkeep of the line, right?
Maybe that just sounds too logical to me...I don't know.
Now if the corporation were to oversee the crews then the corporation should oversee all maintainance, right?
I don't understand this thing about rent. If the corporation pays rent, where is that money supposed to go to? It seems to me that that the commission could offer an in-kind rent exchange where the corporation could foot the bill for maintainance and upkeep out of the monies that would normally go to rent.....of course the corporation would pay evryone's salary and the commission would do what they are supposed to, oversee and advise.
I understand now why the operators haven't been able to make any headway, they have to pay all the extra money to the commission and who knows what they are doing with it? "
The forst part is so logical that nobody seems to be able to see the beauty of it.
The second part is fairly complex. The operator is making a profit from ticket sales, supposedly.
They are NOT responsible for 'capital Improvement', just fixing what they broke and replacing the worn-out tires, so to speak. Much the same as leasing a car.
The Commision re-imburese the operator for 'capital improvements'.
Right now the problem seems to be that The Commission is wondering what the RGRPC did with the money!
