Free shuttle buses that are often used to transport clients or customers from one designated location to another are usually not permitted to compete with common carrier transportation. One such company was accused of violating the state code for picking up nonauthorized customers as it transported people between hotels and casinos. The defendant argued that the wording of the state code was ambiguous and unclear. Semantic analysis of the words “effectively,” “limits,” “customer,” and “trip” framed the linguistic contribution to this case.
Keywords: state code, ambiguous, semantics, transportation, linguistic
