Revisión de servicios de transporte y su adecuación

Explicación Simple

Esta ley habla sobre cómo se decide si un servicio de transporte sigue funcionando. Si la gente no está contenta con el servicio, puede ser cambiado o cancelado.

Es como cuando en un restaurante, si la comida no es buena y los clientes se van, el dueño debe revisar el menú y hacer cambios para que vuelva la gente.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que la empresa de autobuses 'Transporte Rápido' ha dejado de pasar por varias paradas porque la gente ya no las usa. La comisión de transporte revisará si esto afecta a los pasajeros y decidirá si pueden seguir esas rutas o si deben cambiarlas.

OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL Editor's notes. - In light of the similarity of the statutory provisions, opinions under former Code 1933, § 68-607, which was subsequently repealed but was succeeded by provisions in this Code section, are included in the annotations for this Code section. Former Code 1933, § 68-607 was plain and unambiguous, and hence not subject to legal interpretation; it clearly authorized the commission to revoke or amend a certificate if the carrier was not furnishing adequate service. The only question to be determined in such a case was whether or not the service was inadequate from any cause; it made no difference whether that inadequacy may have resulted from abandonment of other services by the applicant or any other carrier, or whether it arises from gradual population shifts. 1957 Op. Att'y Gen. p. 222 (decided under former Code 1933, § 68-607). Public convenience and necessity determinative factor concerning continuation of service. - In determining whether a branch line should be discontinued, public convenience and necessity - not loss to the utility - when the operation as a whole is profitable, is the determinative factor, and the commission may consider the return from the entire system rather than just the branch line. Of course, under the guise of regulation the property of a carrier may not be taken by requiring it to furnish services or facilities not reasonably necessary to serve the public. 1957 Op. Att'y Gen. p.
