Application Aubrey Allen Et Al. Aubrey

The issue in this case is whether the Nebraska State Railway Commission, hereinafter referred to as the Railway Commission,
may summarily deny an application for a reduction of rates without holding a hearing specifically requested by the applicants
senior citizens of Omaha, Nebraska. The Railway Commission denied the application and denied the applicants an opportunity
to be heard before the Railway Commission. We reverse the Railway Commission's order for failure to hold a hearing. The applicants are senior citizens in the City of Omaha, Nebraska, and filed this application before the Railway Commission
requesting a special rate for senior citizens over the age of 62 years during specified hours during the week. The proposed
fare to be charged was 20 cents per ride with no charge for transfers. It was requested that the rate be instituted for 1
year.
