. The district may operate charter bus service subject to the
following limitations:
(a) No bus equipment which is designed solely for charter service
shall be purchased. A bus equipped with a toilet or underfloor

charter rate schedule or any amendment thereof. Notice of the hearing
shall be mailed to each charter-party carrier operating within the
district at least 30 days prior to the hearing. The notice shall
include the proposed charter rate schedule. At the close of the
public hearing, the board may adopt charter rate schedules which
shall not be less than the average for the three largest private
charter-party carriers operating similar service in the district.
(c) Charter service shall originate and terminate within the area
served by the district, unless a private charter-party carrier
requests the district to provide service beyond the area served by
the district.
