Bus Companies Battle Over Route Rights Headed To PU C
The Public Utilities Commission will decide within 10 days whether a Lebanon Middletown bus operator interferes with Ortman Stewart Bus Co and who holds prior right. Attorney Elliot Levey and co owner Lee Ortman attended the commission hearing Friday. Harmon Framer seeks to take the certificate abandoned by Beal Transportation of Monroe, operating Lebanon to Middletown. Levey says Ortman Stewart offered no objection to the certificate but wants limits in Mayfield. Ortman contends Beal’s operation infringes on his territory by picking up passengers in the city.
