Obligations for Luggage

A common carrier of persons, unless his vehicle is fitted for the reception of persons exclusively, must receive and carry a reasonable amount of baggage for each passenger without charge, except for an excess of weight over 100 pounds to a passenger; if such carrier is a proprietor of a stage line, he need not receive and carry for each passenger by such stage line, without charge, more than 60 pounds of baggage. SOURCE: CC § 2180. NOTE: Taxis are regulated by 16 GCA Chapter 11. Public Law 20-220 (8/31/90) adds a section, 16 GCA '11106, which specified the rates which may be charged by taxi drivers, including rates for baggage. To that extent, this section has been repealed with respect to taxis. Common carrier bus service is provided by the Guam Mass Transit Authority, a public corporation, and it's creation and regulations are found in Title 12, Guam Code Annotated.
