§ 46.2-2099.6. When certificate granted
The public convenience and necessity to be served by this article is to encourage passengers to visit points of interest in Virginia by providing economical, comfortable and convenient transportation, and, in the issuance of certificates, the Department shall consider all facts bearing on that purpose, including provisions of § 46.2-2011 and existing means of transportation. The Department shall issue no more certificates than the public convenience and necessity require, and shall place such restrictions upon such certificates as may be reasonably necessary to protect any existing common carrier regulated pursuant to Article 6 of this chapter operating over the same route or routes under a certificate issued by the Department, but it shall not deny a certificate solely on the ground that the applicant will operate over the route or part of the route of an existing common carrier regulated pursuant to Article 6 of this chapter.
