Port Auth. Trans-Hudson Corp. v. Baum Bus Co

In Port Auth. Trans-Hudson Corp. v. Baum Bus Co., 156 N.J. Super. 585, 595-96, 384 A.2d 213 (Law Div.1977), aff'd, 156 N.J. Super. 578, 384 A.2d 209 (App.Div.1978), the court discussed the role of the Public Utility Commission ("PUC") when a municipality seeks to eliminate bus stops. There, a Jersey City ordinance eliminated ten stops on the defendant bus company's route. Id. at 588, 384 A.2d 213. The PUC intervened, claiming it was authorized to review and reassess the elimination of the ten bus stops. Id. at 595, 384 A.2d 213. The court disagreed, finding no statutory or regulatory authority allowing the PUC to review Jersey City's action in eliminating the stops. Id. at 596, 384 A.2d 213.
