   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 UJSP, Inc., t/d/b/a Blue & White Taxi, respondent, maintains its principal place of business at P. O. Box 8954, Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania 15221.

   5.  That, on July 17, 1997, the Bureau of Transportation and Safety instituted a complaint at A-00110880C9704 against respondent alleging that respondent violated 52 Pa. Code §§ 29.314(b)(6) and 29.402(1), 67 Pa. Code §§ 175.66(a) and (c), 175.80(a)(9)(i), (vi) and (viii), 75 Pa.C.S. § 4303, 66 Pa.C.S. § 1501, 67 Pa. Code §§ 175.66(a) and (f), 175.80(a)(9)(i), (ii) and (viii), 67 Pa. Code §§ 153.4, 175.66(a), 67 Pa. Code §§ 175.66(a) and (k), 175.80(a)(1)(ii)(D), 175.80(a)(9)(i) and (viii), 67 Pa. Code §§ 175.65(a), 175.80(d)(1), 75 Pa.C.S. § 4525, 67 Pa. Code §§ 175.62 and 175.80(d)(3), 67 Pa. Code § 175.66(g), 67 Pa. Code §§ 175.64(a) and (b), 175.80(c)(5), 175.80(d)(7) and 75 Pa.C.S. § 4502. The complaint was issued on July 17, 1997, and was served on respondent on September 10, 1997.

   6.  That, by Initial Decision issued August 17, 1998, the complaint was sustained and respondent was ordered to pay a civil penalty in the amount of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00). Said decision was served on respondent on August 31, 1998. The Initial Decision became final by Commission order entered on September 22, 1998. The order was served on respondent on or about November 6, 1998. To date, no response has been received from respondent and no payment was made on the $1,000.00 fine.

   7.  That, on July 17, 1997, the Bureau of Transportation and Safety instituted a complaint at A-00110880C9705 against respondent alleging that respondent violated 52 Pa. Code §§ 33.2 and 33.1 and 66 Pa.C.S. § 501(c).

   8.  That, by Initial Decision issued August 17, 1998, the complaint was sustained and respondent was ordered to pay a civil penalty in the amount of three thousand dollars ($3,000.00). Said decision was served on respondent on August 31, 1998. The Initial Decision became final by Commission order entered on September 22, 1998. The order was served on respondent on or about November 6, 1998. To date, no response has been received from respondent and no payment was made on the $3,000.00 fine.

   9.  That respondent, in failing to pay the penalties within the specified time period, violated the Public Utility Code, 66 Pa.C.S. § 501(c) by failing to observe, obey and comply with Commission orders, and the terms and conditions thereof, entered on September 22, 1998, at A-00110880C9703, A-00110880C9704 and A-00110880C9705.

   A certificate holder has an obligation to comply with the Commission's rules and regulations. A certificate of public convenience is neither a contract nor a property; it is a privilege. Where that privilege is violated, the Commission may, for due cause, exercise its power to revoke a carrier's privilege to operate. Paradise v. Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, 132 A.2d 754, 184 Pa. Superior Court 8 (1957).

   Wherefore, the Bureau of Transportation and Safety Prosecutory Staff hereby requests that the Commission revoke UJSP, Inc., t/d/b/a Blue & White Taxi 's certificate of public convenience at A-00110880.
