Jitney Service Sparks San Antonio Debate On Regulation
A new jitney passenger service prompts a clash over licensing and fare control as the city weighs whether jitney operators must follow the same public utility rules as established rail and streetcar lines. Proponents argue drivers should set fares freely, while the railroad-like obligation to provide regular schedules and street repairs under city policy is cited by officials. The issue centers on whether jitneys are public utilities or private conveyances and how this affects licensing and fare regulation.
