454.2
. Notwithstanding Section 454, the commission may establish a
"zone of rate freedom" for any passenger stage transportation service
which is operating in competition with other passenger
transportation service from any means of transportation, if the
competition together with the authorized zone of rate freedom will
result in reasonable rates and charges for the passenger stage
transportation service. An adjustment in rates or charges within a
zone of rate freedom established by the commission is hereby deemed
just and reasonable. The commission may, upon protest or on its own
motion, suspend any adjustment in rates or charges under this section
and institute proceedings under its rules of practice and procedure.
