Authority Requested
Pacific's application explains that it now seeks authority to provide this shuttle service on an individual fare basis, i.e., paid for by each passenger, rather than on the present charter basis under which the sponsoring companies pay for it on a shared basis. The application, therefore, involves a change in form only, and would not affect the basic nature of the existing service. The request does require enlargement of its existing certificate of public convenience and necessity.
The application states that this service will operate from Disneyland to the Cities of Anaheim, Garden Grove, and Orange. Its service territory will be a zone extending two miles from the perimeter of Disneyland. The shuttle service will be coordinated with Disneyland's opening and closing times, and will be provided on flexible schedules throughout the day. Schedules will vary from day to day, based upon changes in actual and projected passenger counts.
Pacific expects to use distinctive trolley-type vehicles seating 30 to 35 passengers to provide the service, as these are used successfully in its current Charter Service. It is projected that approximately 25 of these trolley-type vehicles will be in service by mid-2000.
The fare for the proposed service will be $2.00, which will be valid for the full day of use, with no limitation on the number of trips taken to and from Disneyland.
