61. The transit authority, on its own authority and without any further approval, may, by resolution, establish, change or cancel lines, replace bus lines by lines of other means of public transport and change their routes.
For any such purpose, it may use any public street which it deems expedient in the territory under its jurisdiction.
The secretary shall send forthwith to the interested municipalities and cause to be published without delay in a daily newspaper circulating in the territory, a certified copy of the resolution of the transit authority.
Any decision contemplated in the first paragraph relating to the establishment or change of a line shall take effect only from the expiration of eight days following the sending of a notice to that effect to the municipality concerned.
Where the transit authority makes a contract pursuant to the second paragraph of section 49 and exercises the power provided for in this section, it may make such amendments to the contract as are rendered necessary for the exercise of such power.
