The city bus bas signs inside every bus prohibiting weapons of any kind. These buses wear Municipal license plates. A portion of their funding comes from govt grants and whatnot. I ride the bus to get to the GVSU Health Science building because they have no parking for students up there.
Since they are using municipal license plates, and get some of their funding from public sources, would they fall under preemption? Or can they set their own rules?
The buses are not patroled, but the central station is patroled by a full-time City Police officer.
The bus system is operated by the "Interurban Transit Partnership", whose board of directors is made up of individuals from the service areas the bus covers. They claim to organize under PA196 of 1967 but I cant find that PA. 68% of their 2007 operating revenue came from local property taxes and state funding.
