Great Escape Travel
11 Centennial Way
Scottsdale PA 15683In re: A-00111467C9901
A-00111467Dear Respondent:
On September 23, 199, the Bureau of Transportation and Safety instituted a complaint against Great Escape Vacations, Ltd., t/a Great Escape Travel, respondent, alleging failure to maintain proper evidence of current insurance in violation of the Public Utility Code. The respondent was duly notified that if acceptable evidence of insurance or an answer was not filed, the Bureau would request that the Secretary of the Commission revoke the certificate of public convenience issued to the respondent at A-00111467.
The complaint and notice were published in the October 23, 1999 issue of the Pennsylvania Bulletin, after the Commission was unsuccessful in serving respondent by mail. To date, more than twenty (20) days later, neither evidence of insurance nor an answer to the complaint has been filed. Therefore, the allegation in the complaint is deemed to be admitted.
The complaint at A-00111467C9901 is hereby sustained and the right(s) and the certificate of public convenience issued to the respondent at A-00111467 be and are hereby revoked; and the respondent has no other operating authority. The respondent is hereby notified to cease and desist from providing service previously authorized under the certificate of public convenience.
Very truly yours,
James J. McNulty
