Like most railroaders, Maidman wants to concentrate on freight, but he picked a startling way to get rid of commuters: he offered to buy them out. If they would agree to a cutback in service from three round trips daily to two one-way trips at peak hours, he would put on a comfortable, air-conditioned streamliner. More important, if the 200 commuters agreed unanimously to his scrapping all commuter services, he would pay them $1,000 each. How to identify all those eligible to collect?

...wants to abolish many blanket laws and consider each situation individually. An example of what he calls a "bad regulation" is the prohibition of parking on the left side of all one-way streets. "In some places this is ridiculous," he asserts. If a one-way street is broad enough, then parking should be legal on both sides...
