Bribe authority

A setting that allows you to bribe local authorities.

Description

When you enable this option is added to the Local authority window allowing you to bribe the local authority in attempt to raise your company rating in that locality. Bribe with caution, however, as many transport companies have been caught out by the Regional Investigators who look very poorly upon this behaviour.
