RULE §217.44Privately Owned Buses

(a) Privately owned buses not operated for compensation or hire and thus not classified and registered as "city buses" or "motor buses" shall be registered with private bus license plates. The "private bus" registration classification includes every motor vehicle not operated for compensation or hire, which is designed for carrying more than 10 passengers (excluding the driver or operator) and used for the transportation of persons.

(b) The registration fee for a privately owned bus shall be prorated monthly and based upon the weight of the vehicle as calculated by Transportation Code, §502.055.

(c) The same schedule of registration fees used for city buses shall also be used for privately owned buses, since the fees for both classifications are computed at the same rate.
