1. That I & S Magassa, Inc., Respondent, maintains a principal place of business at P. O. Box 14498, Philadelphia, PA 19115.

Respondent was also told that, if it chose to retain the authority under the jurisdiction of this Commission, an acceptable tariff must be filed showing the rates for the transportation service. Respondent failed to file an acceptable tariff.
4. That Respondent was advised by letter dated September 11, 2009, that it failed to file a valid tariff with this Commission as required by 52 Pa. Code § 23.11(a). Respondent was given an additional 60 days to file an acceptable tariff. Again, Respondent failed to file an acceptable tariff.
5. That, on March 20, 2010, a Complaint was instituted against Respondent at C-2010-2137675 for failure to file an acceptable tariff. Respondent was given 30 days to file an answer to the complaint or to file a tariff and pay a $250 penalty. No response was received; therefore, the Complaint was adjudicated by Secretarial Letter dated August 2, 2011.
6. That, to date, Respondent has failed to file an acceptable tariff showing the rates for the transportation service provided. This is a violation of 52 Pa. Code § 23.11(a) and § 29.314(b)(6). The Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement's penalty for this violation is cancellation of the Certificate of Public Convenience.
Wherefore, the Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement hereby requests that the Commission cancel I & S Magassa, Inc.'s Certificate of Public Convenience at A-00114211 for the illegal activity described in the complaint and order such other remedy as the Commission may deem to be appropriate.

Investigation and Enforcement v. Karam Cab Co;
A-00115341; Doc. No. C-2011-2258084COMPLAINT 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 hereby represents as follows:
1. That Karam Cab Co., Respondent, maintains a principal place of business at 112 Seaford Road, Upper Darby, PA 19082.
2. That Respondent was issued a Certificate of Public Convenience by this Commission on February 16, 1999, at A-00115341.
3. That Respondent was advised by letter dated May 10, 2005, that its medallion authority was being transferred to the Philadelphia Parking Authority. At that time, Respondent was advised that its taxicab service which had an origin and destination outside of the City of Philadelphia remained subject to the regulatory oversight of the PA PUC. Respondent was also told that, if it chose to retain the authority under the jurisdiction of this Commission, an acceptable tariff must be filed showing the rates for the transportation service. Respondent failed to file an acceptable tariff.
4. That Respondent was advised by letter dated September 4, 2009, that it failed to file a valid tariff with this Commission as required by 52 Pa. Code § 23.11(a). Respondent was given an additional 60 days to file an acceptable tariff. Again, Respondent failed to file an acceptable tariff.
5. That, on April 9, 2010, a Complaint was instituted against Respondent at C-2010-2131204 for failure to file an acceptable tariff. Respondent was given 30 days to file an answer to the complaint or to file a tariff and pay a $250 penalty. No response was received; therefore, the Complaint was adjudicated by Secretarial Letter dated July 11, 2011.
6. That, to date, Respondent has failed to file an acceptable tariff showing the rates for the transportation service provided. This is a violation of 52 Pa. Code § 23.11(a) and § 29.314(b)(6). The Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement Staff's penalty for this violation is cancellation of the Certificate of Public Convenience.
Wherefore, the Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement Staff hereby requests that the Commission cancel Karam Cab Co.'s Certificate of Public Convenience at A-00115341 for the illegal activity described in the complaint and order such other remedy as the Commission may deem to be appropriate.

A-00113120; Doc. No. C-2011-2264745COMPLAINT 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 hereby represents as follows:
1. That Time Taxi, Inc, Respondent, maintains a principal place of business at 49 Bruce Drive, Holland, PA 18966.
2. That Respondent was issued a Certificate of Public Convenience by this Commission on June 20, 1996, at A-00113120.
3. That Respondent was advised by letter dated May 10, 2005, that its medallion authority was being transferred to the Philadelphia Parking Authority. At that time, Respondent was advised that its taxicab service which had an origin and destination outside of the City of Philadelphia remained subject to the regulatory oversight of the PA PUC. Respondent was also told that, if it chose to retain the authority under the jurisdiction of this Commission, an acceptable tariff must be filed showing the rates for the transportation service. Respondent failed to file an acceptable tariff.
4. That Respondent was advised by letter dated September 11, 2009, that it failed to file a valid tariff with this Commission as required by 52 Pa. Code § 23.11(a). Respondent was given an additional 60 days to file an acceptable tariff. Again, Respondent failed to file an acceptable tariff.
5. That, on March 1, 2010, a Complaint was instituted against Respondent at C-2010-2135210 for failure to file an acceptable tariff. Respondent was given 30 days to file an answer to the complaint or to file a tariff and pay a $250 penalty. No response was received; therefore, the Complaint was adjudicated by Secretarial Letter dated July 8, 2011.
6. That, to date, Respondent has failed to file an acceptable tariff showing the rates for the transportation service provided. This is a violation of 52 Pa. Code § 23.11(a) and § 29.314(b)(6). The Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement's penalty for this violation is cancellation of the Certificate of Public Convenience.
Wherefore, the Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement hereby requests that the Commission cancel Time Taxi, Inc., t/a Stephanie Cab Co.'s Certificate of Public Convenience at A-00113120 for the illegal activity described in the complaint and order such other remedy as the Commission may deem to be appropriate.
