§ 103021 Existing Transit Systems

• •An “existing system” must have been operating on Jan 1, 1974 inside the county, or have done ≥75% of its revenue miles in the county in 1973.
• •The definition covers both public and private utility transit services.
• •Charter‑party carriers and charter services of passenger stage corporations are NOT counted as existing systems.

A city bus company that was operating routes inside the county on January 1, 1974, or that ran 80% of its mileage in the county in 1973.

Because the bus company meets one of those two tests, the law treats it as an “existing system,” so any rules that apply to existing systems will apply to this bus company.
