Jitney Operators Lose Court Tilt In Atlanta Bond Rule

Temporary injunction against the jitney ordinance was denied in Fulton Superior Court. Jitney operators must post a $1,000 indemnity bond per machine by May 1 or face suspension as the city challenges the ordinance as unconstitutional. Court set May 12 hearing on the petition but left the bond requirement in effect, with filings naming John Y. Hood and others as operators challenging the measure.
