c.  The department of consumer affairs, the New York state metropolitan transportation authority, the affected council member and community board shall have ten days from receipt of such plan to forward comments, if any, to the department on such plan.
      d.  After receipt of comments, if any, from the department of consumer affairs, the New York state metropolitan transportation authority, and the affected council member and community board, the department shall consider such comments and may incorporate changes, where appropriate, into its plan to assign a bus stop to a private bus company.
e.  The department shall forward either an amended bus stop plan or notice that it will proceed with its original bus stop plan to the department of consumer affairs, the New York state metropolitan transportation authority, and the affected council member and community board at least ten days before it implements such bus stop plan.
f.  This section shall not apply to any private bus company that has an omnibus route under a franchise pursuant to section 6-202 of the code.
