What kind of insurance do city bus companies and taxi cabs have?

San Francisco City Bus & Taxi Cab Injury Information


Question:

What kind of insurance do city bus companies and taxi cabs have?

Answer:

For the most part, cities and counties that run public transportation companies do not have insurance. BART, AC Transit, Golden Gate Transit Ferries, San Francisco Muni and SamTrans all operate without liability insurance. If they cause injury or damage, any loss or harm must be paid for out of the local treasury. Private taxi cabs, jitneys and shuttles are regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission which has minimum insurance requirements of $250,000. Additionally, an injured passenger or pedestrian's own car insurance (uninsured motorist and underinsured motorist) may provide coverage.
