No driver of any bus shall deviate from the route along which a certificate to operate the same has been granted, or stop and turn back before reaching the terminus of such route; provided, however, that if the regular traffic over the route of such bus has been diverted or detoured by proper authority for any lawful reason, the driver of such bus may follow the established detour route.

Any bus may deviate not more than five blocks from such route to a church or school, or to any public attraction or demonstration.

The council may, upon application, where it appears necessary, issue a temporary authority to deviate from the established route.

In any case of deviation from its authorized route, except pursuant to diversion or detour by proper authority, a bus shall return at once to the point of diversion and proceed from such point in the same direction in which it was going before such deviation, until a terminus of such route is reached. (Ord. 2217 NCS §2 (part), 2005.)
