Full text
45. Whether it operates the system itself or it entrusts its operation in accordance with the second paragraph of section 49, the transit authority may cause articles of little value found in its vehicles or on its property, and not claimed within two months, to be sold at auction.
The sale shall not take place less than ten days after the publication in a daily newspaper of a notice of sale mentioning the nature of the articles and indicating the place, date and time of the sale.
The transit authority shall then not be liable to the owner except for the proceeds of the sale, less the costs of preservation and sale.
The transit authority may give perishable articles found in such places and not claimed within twelve hours to charitable institutions or undertakings.
It may also give to charitable institutions or undertakings any articles which have remained unsold at an auction.
In the case of the two preceding paragraphs, the transit authority shall be free of any liability towards the owners of the articles concerned.
