City Car Line Franchise Details Service at Cost and Fare Rules
The plan requires securities and transfer to the transportation commission with a service at cost model. Fare adjustments occur automatically to yield 7 to 8 percent returns, via a fare index fund. Quarterly changes trigger fare increases or decreases based on surplus or shortfalls. The city must curb competition, retain rate control, and may buy the system at a set price. Arbitration penalties favor the city or company accordingly.
