Whenever the number of regular route passengers carried by an applicant in the previous calendar year represents 75% or more of the combined number of passengers carried on regular route, casino, special and charter bus operations during that year, then such applicant shall pay $10.00 per annum for the registration of each vehicle used as an omnibus for the transportation of passengers for hire in lieu of the annual fees hereinbefore prescribed. In addition, any applicant who is operating regular route bus service under a contract with the New Jersey Transit Corporation pursuant to P.L. 1979, c. 150 (C. 27:25-1 et seq.), shall pay $10.00 per annum for the registration of each vehicle used as an omnibus for the transportation of passengers for hire in lieu of the annual fees hereinbefore prescribed and without regard to the aforementioned 75% requirement.
