No driver of a taxicab equipped with a taximeter, while carrying passengers or under employment, shall display the signal affixed to such taximeter in such a position as to denote such vehicle is not employed, or in such position as to denote that he is employed at a rate of fare different from that to which he is entitled under the provisions of this chapter. It shall be the duty of the driver to call the attention of passengers to the amount registered, and the taxicab flag shall not be changed to the vacant position until after the fare is paid. If demanded by a passenger, the driver shall give to the person paying the fare, at the time of such payment, his name, permit number, taxicab number and the name of the owner. It shall be unlawful for any driver to carry any person without the earning signal on the taximeter being in operation.
