§ 82-92. Rates.

(a)

All rates for the use of taxicabs using meters shall be determined by a meter rate, hourly rate or special trip rate, and by no other method. All charges are for the exclusive use of the taxicab and shall apply regardless of the number of passengers transported.

(b)

If demanded by the passenger, the driver in charge of a taxicab shall deliver to the person paying for the hiring of the taxicab, at the time of such payment, a receipt therefor in legible writing, containing the name of the owner, the city license number, showing upon such receipt all items for which a charge is made, the total amount paid and the date of payment. Every driver of any such taxicab shall have the right to demand payment of the legal fare in advance, and may refuse employment unless so prepaid.
