The Public Utilities Commission
has denied the Capital Transit
Co.'S proposal to run an extra
fare express bus service over the
South Capitol Street Bridge.
The commission, however, said
it would approve an application
to operate buses over the new

If the company does not seek
such a route authorization, the
commission added, an investiga-
