Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The concept of "free rider problems" refers to situations where individuals benefit from resources, goods, or services without paying for them, which is not directly related to the benefits of lower transportation costs. Lower transportation costs primarily benefited economic activities by reducing costs for producers and consumers, expanding markets, and making remote areas economically viable, rather than addressing or reducing free rider problems.
