Interstate vs Intrastate Commerce

613042

{"text":"Is a regular route bus service between Reno and Phoenix, making a stop at Las Vegas, considered interstate or intrastate commerce?\n\nAccording to FMCSA: What is the difference between interstate commerce and intrastate commerce?...\n\"If you perform trade, traffic, or transportation exclusively in your business’s domicile state, this is considered intrastate commerce.\n\nIf your trade, traffic, or transportation is one of the following, this is considered interstate commerce. Source: 49 CFR 390.5.:\nBetween a place in a state and a place outside of such state (including a place outside of the United States)\nBetween two places in a state through another state or a place outside of the United States\nBetween two places in a state as part of trade, traffic, or transportation originating or terminating outside the state or the United States\"\nObviously, such Reno to Phoenix route would be interstate commerce. But what if a passenger gets on at Reno and gets off at Las Vegas? Would this be considered intrastate commerce in addition to interstate commerce?\n\nWhen I asked the FMCSA, they said \"no\" and confirmed in writing in an e-mail, because such Reno to Las Vegas passenger is still \"part of trade, traffic, or transportation originating or terminating outside the state\" because the bus is operating a Reno to Phoenix route. Does this mean only interstate regulations apply to such route?","pics":"[]","canComment":true}
