FINANCING GOVERNMENT ENTERPRISES
This paper identifies some of the many financial problems that beset public enterprises: using operating costs, the growing public suspicion of large development projects and hence, subjection to full government regulation, and the high cost and volatility of borrowing to finance capital improvements. The author then offers some suggestions that may help transit systems cope with these problems.
