Any person, firm or corporation desiring to operate a school bus in the City must apply to the Director of Public Safety for a license to operate any such school bus. Such application shall be in writing and shall state the full name and address of the owner of the school bus and the applicant, the trade name under which the applicant does or will do business, the type of vehicle for which the license is desired, the length of time such vehicle has been in use, the number of persons it is capable of carrying, the motor power thereof, the design and color scheme thereof and the local symbol used or proposed to be used by the applicant on such vehicle. If such vehicle is to be colored and marked in accordance with the laws and regulations of the State with respect to school buses, the application shall so state.
The Director may require such additional information as to the financial responsibility and fitness of management of officers and stockholders of the applicant, and such other information as he may desire. The application, together with any statements or further information required by the Director, shall have affixed thereto an affidavit duly sworn to by the applicant. However, in the case of applicants already licensed by a municipality abutting the City and whose principal business is the carrying of passengers elsewhere than in the City, it may be sufficient to file an affidavit containing a description of the vehicle, together with the license number of the municipality issuing such license, and a statement as to the type or kind of financial responsibility filed with the municipality which issued such license covering the operation of such vehicle.
