Google reinvents mass transit

Finally, the private sector figures out how to move people around from home to work in buses: $0, wireless internet, leather seats, and more. Looking at the failure of mass transit in the past, one might be led to believe that individual cars are the only market solution. But this Google experiment shows that the problem isn’t the means of transport so much as government management and ownership.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
