PSC REVOKES CERTIFICATE OF AUTHORITY ISSUES
            CIVIL PENALTY FOR LINCOLN CARRIER

Lincoln, December 14, 2021 – The Nebraska Public Service
Commission (PSC) has issued an Order (MCC-3198) revoking
the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity of Bus at
the Yard, d/b/a/, Luxury Limousine of Lincoln and fined the
Carrier more than $26,000.

The Order follows an October 19 hearing in which Luxury
Limousine was provided the opportunity to show cause as to
why its certificate should not be revoked. The hearing was not
attended by anyone from the company.

“This isn’t the first time that we’ve had issues with this company
for failure to comply with commission orders,” said Commission
Chair Dan Watermeier. “Despite our best efforts to get them on
track, they continue to be non-compliant. Therefore, it is in the
best interest of the public that we revoke their certification.”

In addition to revoking their certificate of authority, the
Commission alleges Luxury Limousine operated with a
suspended authority and in violation of a cease-and-desist order
from February-through-August 2021 during which time the
company completed 49 trips. As a result, the Commission levied
a civil penalty of $26, 377.95 against the company. The fine
equals the amount received by the company for trips taken while
under suspension. ###
