Answer:

railroads must clearly publish and honor posted schedules and fees

Explanation:

During the late 1800s, railway companies were shortchanging their customers by hiking the prices of tickets to only some customers and as a result, the Interstate Commerce Act was passed in 1887 to stop this anomaly.

This Act was meant to ensure fairness in prices and regulate the excesses of the rail officials by requiring them to publish and honor posted schedules and fees.

How did town life weaken the bonds of loyalty in the feudal system?
Nookie1986 [14]
People in towns didn't have to give their produce to feudal lords and were independent if they paid their taxes, and the taxes were not as high as they were for people in the land. This caused many people to abandon their feudal lords and move to cities where they would work freely.
