How the fuck do become CEO of road?

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago

You start as a manager of a trail and then work your way up from there.

First you have to convince the taxpayers to pay for building infrastructure and then give it to you for pennies

In some countries, the Expressways and Freeways are operated by public entities, rather than state transportation departments. For example, in Japan, the Shutoko System that runs through Tokyo is operated by the Metropolitan Expressway Public Corporation.

Comparing that to the United States, that would be like if the sections of the Eisenhower Interstate System were operated by "Name of City Expressway Transit District", who has a publicly elected board at Election Season and bills people for using the system.

That's how you become CEO of road.

They held the contract for operation and maintenance.

You start in an entry level job. Something in the trail room perhaps.
