 7 shall, when a train is canceled or delayed by more than ten minutes,
 8 issue refunds for the full amount of each affected rider's fare. The

 10 vision shall be in operation during all hours in which such authority
 11 provides railroad, subway and/or omnibus services, and such program
 12 shall not be limited in operation to off-peak hours or to any other
 13 hours designated by the authority or its subsidiary corporations; howev-
 14 er, the fare refund program may be suspended temporarily when an emer-
 15 gency situation arises.
 16 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
