The authority shall endeavor to acquire facilities, assets and rights of existing and operating private or public transportation systems, however no liability other than for equipment and facilities shall be assumed or contracted for, by good faith negotiation and contract and in so doing shall not be required to comply with any statutory or charter limitations or prerequisites to such acquisition.

Such election shall be limited to condemnation or arbitration and shall be final. Until such time as the authority shall have acquired the routes of a common carrier of persons certified by the Michigan public service commission and which common carrier is subject to the provisions of this act and not exempt under the provisions of section 6(c) the authority shall not operate competitive service over the same routes with such common carrier, except for existing competing service which is operated by a company acquired by the authority.
