(1) (2) (3) No common carrier shall abandon or change any route or service, except upon an application heretofore provided for; except, however, if it becomes necessary, on account of the condition of the highways or other emergency, a common carrier may make temporary changes in route, service or schedules by notifying the department of such change. However, any carrier operating under a suburban bus certificate may make such changes in routes and schedules as may be necessary for the public convenience and shall not be required to notify the department of such changes, unless such changed condition is to continue for a period longer than ten (10) days, in which event the carrier shall notify the department of the additional time that it desires such change or changes to remain in effect, and the reason therefor, and the department may grant such extension of time without a hearing. If after the granting of a certificate of public convenience and necessity, a nonprofit bus certificate or a permit, operation is not begun within sixty (60) days thereof, said certificate or permit will become null and void, and cannot be reinstated; provided, however, that the department may grant an additional time to begin such operation, provided application therefor is made within the sixty (60) day period. If, after any motor carrier has operated in good faith, there is an abandonment of the whole or any part of said operation, the department may notify said motor carrier to immediately begin such operation, and if such motor carrier fails to do so within thirty (30) days thereof, the department may enter an order canceling said certificate or permit, with or without a hearing, or it may enter an order requiring the motor carrier to operate such abandoned route.
