535.2. In no case may the Commission des transports du Québec issue a bus transport permit or alter the service that the holder of a bus transport permit is authorized to supply in the territory of a municipality, a group of municipalities or an intermunicipal board that organizes a public transport service, without the prior authorization of the municipality, of the municipality that is the mandatary of the group of municipalities or of the intermunicipal board.
If the municipality or the intermunicipal board does not indicate its refusal to the Commission des transports du Québec within 60 days after the Commission’s application for authorization, it is presumed to have given its authorization.
This article does not apply in the case of a cancellation or reduction of service or in the case of the establishment of a new service which does not compete with the public transport service organized by the municipality, by the municipality that is the mandatary of the group of municipalities or by the intermunicipal board.
