Godoy V. County Of Hawaii

Commencing April 15, 1949, the committee required all buses subject to its control to be operated from a designated terminal located in the city's Mooheau Park. At that time there were some 78 buses, of the sampan type unique to Hilo, in operation as certified carriers. The terminal area was only large enough to provide for approximately one half that number of parking stalls. As a necessary expedient the Bus Control Committee adopted a regulation which permitted each bus to be operated from the terminal on alternate days only. The determination of the days on which a bus could be operated depended on the number assigned to its certificate of convenience. Buses covered by certificates bearing odd numbers had to be operated on the odd days of the month and those with even numbers on the even days of the month.
