(a) The passenger first hiring the taxicab has directed or agreed voluntarily that he be carried as part of a group or multiple ride; provided that the total fare charged to all of the passengers shall not in the aggregate exceed the rate of fare permitted for such trip under Section 9-112-600; or
(b) The commissioner has, by regulation or rule, designated specified places, times or routes where groups of passengers may be carried in a single taxicab at rates of fare which the commissioner may specify for such group trips.
