Every person owning any tracks over which any elevated railroad trains are operated, or operating any elevated railroad trains, shall on each separate line operate trains at such intervals (except during rush hours) that the aggregate number of seats within the trains passing any point in any one direction during any period of 15 consecutive minutes shall be not less than the aggregate number of passengers carried on said trains passing said point during said period of 15 consecutive minutes. Provided, however, that if less than three trains pass any point on any line during a 15-minute period, then the aggregate number of seats carried by three consecutive trains in any one direction passing any point shall be not less than the aggregate number of passengers carried by said three consecutive trains passing said point.
Every person owning any tracks over which any elevated railroad trains are operated, or operating any elevated trains, shall operate trains at such intervals that not less than one train shall be operated during each and every fifteen minute period of the entire 24 hours of each day, excepting the six hours between 12:00 and 6:00 a.m.
Every person violating any of the provisions of this section shall be fined not less than $50.00 nor more than $200.00 for each offense. Each day upon which a violation occurs upon any one line shall constitute a single offense. Not more than one penalty shall be recovered for a violation committed on any line during any one day.
