Jituey Defined by Official Rule
Copies of Railing io Be Furnished All
 POliee Authorities

After a consultation with Attorney General George E Hinman, Robbins B. Stoeekel, the commissioner of motor vehicles, gave a ruling regarding pub lie service motor vehicles in which jitneyS and other motor vehicles used to receive paying passengers are detin- ed. The commissioner will furnish the stnte and local police authorities with copies of his ruling for their guidance. The ruling is as follows;
 The term "Public Service Motor Vehicle, as defined under the law of 1917, includes any motor vehicle opef. ated as jttuey and any motor vehicle used for the purpose of soliciting and receiving passengers upon any public highway and carrying such passengers upon the payment of an individual fare. tomnibuses running regularly between railway stations or boat land. ings and hotels are specifically except ed)
 The scope of the definition covers two sub divisions of motor vehicles.
 l-Jitneys.
 2-0ther motor vehicles used to so. licit and receive passengers upon any public highway and carry them for an individual fare.
 The department rules that jitney is any motor vehicle running upon regular route and carrying passengers between the terminal, or any interme. diate portion of that route al regular stipulated individual or per capita fare.
 The test to be applied in the case of any other motor vehicle than a jitney, in order to determine whether it does or does not come within the definition, is to whether the vehicle in question is used for solicitation and reception of passengers upon the public highway, and for carrying them to their destina. ton for an individual fare.
 The whole test must be applied and the vehicle must be used to conform to the whole definition in order to be in. cluded.
