CIVIL CODE
SECTION 2180-2191
2180. A common carrier of persons, unless his vehicle is fitted for
the reception of persons exclusively, must receive and carry a
reasonable amount of baggage for each passenger without charge,
except for an excess of weight over one hundred pounds to a
passenger; if such carrier is a proprietor of a stage line, he need
not receive and carry for each passenger by such stage line, without
charge, more than sixty pounds of baggage.
2181. Luggage may consist of whatever the passenger takes with him
for his personal use and convenience, according to the habits or
wants of the particular class to which he belongs, either with
reference to the important necessities or to the ultimate purposes of
his journey. Luggage within the meaning of this section shall
include the samples, case, wares, appliances and catalogs of
commercial travelers or their employers, used by them for the purpose
of transacting their business and carried with them solely for that
purpose, when securely packed and locked in substantial trunks or
sample cases of convenient shape and weight for handling. No crate
cover or other protection shall be required for any bicycle carried
as luggage, but no passenger shall be entitled to carry as luggage
more than one bicycle.
2182. The liability of a carrier for luggage received by him with a
passenger is the same as that of a common carrier of property.
