I don't think so. The free PRR share that comes with the C&A
does not have a price either, until the PRR is opened by
buying the presidency. AFAIK the same holds for the NYC.

Yes, I agree, but I have not yet found a good way to do that.

Perhaps we should add a message line over the full width of the
SR and OR windows in which we can show a one-line message about 
what the player having the turn is supposed to do. Here we could 
also add a reminder about special properties that can be exercised.
