(A) It shall be the duty of every driver of an unengaged taxicab, upon request, to transport any orderly person between any two points within the village at the rate hereinafter provided and at any time of day or night.
(B) For the purposes of this section, the word UNENGAGED means that the taxicab is in charge of a driver and neither is occupied by or standing at the direction of a passenger nor responding to a call of a prospective passenger. A taxicab standing shall be presumed to be unengaged.
(C) Should it be shown at any time to the satisfaction of Council, that a driver has failed to comply with the requirements of this section, Council, after a hearing, may suspend the license of such driver for 15 days. In case of two such suspensions within a period of six months, upon the owner continuing to employ that same driver, then the taxicab license may be revoked.
