We're Only Taking Monthly Payments Now

Filed Under: General

HSR is now only taking monthly payments. We no longer offer annual payments. Annual payments represent a liability for us, as we're holding funds for services not yet rendered. I apologize for the inconvenience. If you find your recurring annual payment canceled, this is why. :)

The good news is that we have no plans to raise prices. Our prices have actually declined relative to what they were five years ago.

Turn HSRI into a Customer-Owned Coop?

Filed Under: General

The wild idea has been floated of turning High Speed Rails into a customer-owned cooperative. Each customer who chooses to become an owner of the coop would be on equal standing with all other owners, including the current ownership, and the cooperative would be run democratically. Members would likely be able to vote an owner discount and/or rebate. I think it's worth considering. If enough people participate, the cost may not be very high. If you're interested, let me know what you think.

In order to gauge the interest level, please participate in this very short and simple poll:
