Pennsylvania Public Utility, Bureau of Transportation and Safety v. Golden Taxi, LLC;
A-6310376; C-2010-2119000

COMPLAINT

 The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (Commission) is a duly constituted agency of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania empowered to regulate public utilities within the Commonwealth. The Commission has delegated its authority to initiate proceedings which are prosecutory in nature to the Bureau of Transportation and Safety and other bureaus with enforcement responsibilities. Pursuant to that delegated authority and Section 701 of the Public Utility Code, the Bureau of Transportation and Safety Prosecutory Staff hereby represents as follows:

 1. That Golden Taxi, LLC, respondent, maintains its principal place of business at 909 South Allen Street, State College, PA 16803.

 2. That respondent was issued a certificate of public convenience by this Commission, for Call or Demand service, on December 18, 2008, at Application Docket No. A-6310376.

 3. That on July 13, 2009, a random vehicle inspection was performed on respondent by Enforcement Officer Robert Crawford of the Commission's Altoona District Office, a duly authorized officer of this Commission. The information contained in this complaint was obtained during said inspection.

 4. That respondent, on July 13, 2009, at approximately 3:30 p.m., at 2492 Fox Hollow Road, Benner Township, Centre County, PA, presented a certain 1999 Pontiac, bearing License No. TX46740, Vehicle Identification No. 1GMDX03EXXD229692. During said inspection it was determined that said vehicle was beyond eight model years old and without proper taxicab vehicle markings.

 Wherefore, the Bureau of Transportation and Safety Prosecutory Staff hereby requests that the Commission fine Golden Taxi, LLC the sum of three-hundred dollars ($300.00) for the illegal activity described in this complaint and order such other remedy as the Commission may deem to be appropriate.
