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 Investigation and Enforcement and other bureaus with enforcement responsibilities. Pursuant to that delegated authority and Section 701 of the Public Utility Code, the Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement Prosecutory Staff hereby represents as follows:

 1. That Golf Taxi, Inc., Respondent, maintains its principal place of business at 810 Pulinski Road, Ivyland, PA, 19061.

 2. That Respondent was issued a certificate of public convenience by this Commission on March 7, 2003 authorizing transportation of persons in taxi service at Application Docket No. A-00119600.

 3. That on May 15, 2014, PUC Enforcement Officer Ralph Kane, in order to perform a taxi cab annual inspection, attempted to contact Respondent at the physical address of 810 Pulinski Road, Ivyland, PA. The resident at that address stated no taxi company resides at that location.

 4. That Respondent abandoned or discontinued service without having first filed an application with this Commission for abandonment or discontinuance of service.

 5. That Respondent, by failing to furnish adequate, efficient, and safe service and facilities within 30 days after receipt of a certificate and by not reporting an interruption of service for more than 48 hours with a cause of interruption, violated 52 Pa. Code § 29.61 and § 29.62.

 Wherefore, the Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement Prosecutory Staff hereby requests that the Commission issue an Order which revokes the Certificate of Public Convenience held by Respondent at Docket No. A-00120364.
