§ 46.2-2097.1. When certificates granted
The public convenience and necessity to be served by contract passenger carriers is to provide safe and convenient transportation for passengers and, in the issuance of all certificates authorized by this article, the Department shall consider all facts bearing on that purpose, including provisions of § 46.2-2011, existing means of transportation, and the kind and location of the equipment the applicant proposes to use. The Department shall issue no more certificates than the public convenience and necessity require, and shall place such terms, limitations, and restrictions upon such certificates as the Department may deem proper or reasonably necessary. Any terms, limitations, or restrictions imposed by the Department shall not be applicable to charter buses, as defined in this chapter. The Department shall not deny a certificate solely on the ground that the applicant may render contract passenger service originating at the same point or points as other motor carriers. If the Department finds that the proposed operation is not justified, the application shall be denied.
