Common carriers may grant passes upon their transportation lines to any former employee of the company and his immediate family if such employee, owing to length of service or because of an injury suffered in the service of the company, has been retired from the company but is kept on the payroll under a system of pensioning or a similar system. Such passes shall be good only for intrastate passage.
