Code of Federal Regulationsยง 374.311Service responsibility. (a) Schedules. Carriers shall establish schedules that can be reasonably met, including connections at junction points, to serve adequately all points. (b) Continuity of service.

Such notice shall be displayed for a reasonable time before it becomes effective and shall contain the carrier's name, a description of the proposed schedule change, the effective date thereof, the reasons for the change, the availability of alternate service, and the name and address of the carrier representative passengers may contact. (c) Trip interruptions. A carrier shall mitigate, to the extent possible, any passenger inconvenience it causes by disrupting travel plans. (d) Seating and reservations. A carrier shall provide sufficient buses to meet passengers' normal travel demands, including ordinary weekend and usual seasonal or holiday demand. Passengers (except commuters) shall be guaranteed, to the extent possible, passage and seating. (e) Inspection of rest stops.
