	You should reduce the running costs of vehicles to 25% when the vehicle is stationary (current_speed == 0) for rail locomotives (ie not wagons), road vehicles and ships, or when an aircraft is on the ground (variable e6 != 12). This balancing feature improves profitability of shorter connections, vs the meta of building the longest possible routes from one side of the map to the other.
