“Motor bus,” as used in this chapter, means an automobile, auto truck or trackless motor vehicle engaged in the business of carrying passengers for hire within the City limits and from points within the City limits to surrounding cities, which is held out or announced by sign, voice, writing, device or advertisement, to operate or run, or which does operate or run or which is intended to be operated or run over any particular street or route or to any particular or designated point or between particular points, or to or within any designated territory, district or zone. Nothing herein shall be held to apply to taxicabs, automobiles for hire, hotel buses, sightseeing cars, hearses, ambulances or pallbearers' vehicles, or to railway cars, trucks or automobiles operated by individuals, partnerships or corporations for the carriage of their own employees, or to any automobile or auto truck carrying not more than seven passengers.
(Ord. 6944. Passed 9-28-36.)
No person, either as principal, agent or employee, shall use or occupy any street, alley or other public place within the corporate limits of the City with any motor bus for the carriage of persons for hire, or operate the same by indiscriminately accepting and discharging such persons as may offer themselves for transportation along the way or course on which it is used or operated or may be running, without first obtaining a license from the City.
(Ord. 6944. Passed 9-28-36.)
Any person shall, before receiving a license for the carrying on of the business defined by Section 749.01, file with the Mayor a map of his or her designated route, showing the streets, alleys and public places upon which it is intended to operate, together with the operating schedule or headway to be maintained and the number of cars or vehicles to be operated, with the fares to be charged for the service. Council shall approve or modify, and approve as modified, any such route, operating schedule or headway and the rates of fare before any license shall be granted. Council reserves to itself the continuing right to make such changes in routes, upon notice to the licensee, as it may from time to time determine to be in the public interest. The acceptance of such license shall be deemed an agreement by such person to operate continuously his or her motor buses over such route or routes upon such schedule or headway and for such designated fares, and for failure to do so, in addition to the penalty, the license which may be in force shall be revoked.
(Ord. 6944. Passed 9-28-36.)
Every person receiving a license under this chapter shall pay to the Mayor the sum of fifty dollars ($50.00) per annum in advance, as a license fee for one year from the date thereof for each motor bus, before it shall be lawful for such person to operate any motor bus as a carrier of passengers, in the business defined in this chapter, within the limits of the City.
