Bus Stops. The operator of any bus may stop such vehicle in an established bus stop only for such time as passengers and their baggage are being loaded or unloaded, but in no event longer than 10 minutes.

Upon approval of the application, the city manager may issue a permit to the owner which shall be permanently affixed to the bus as directed by the city manager. A bus which has been designated for personal use and which, if required by the city manager, has a properly affixed permit, may be parked on public streets at places other than bus stops or bus stands when:
(1) 
The bus is not available for the transportation of passengers for compensation; and
(2) 
The bus is parked in compliance with all other parking regulations and prohibitions.
Nothing in this subsection shall permit any bus to be parked in violation of subsections (c) and (d) of this section. Nothing in this subsection shall permit any bus to be parked on city property except in such places as the city manager may provide.
