Each person having complied with the provisions of this chapter and obtained a license to own a taxicab shall be required to operate the taxicab in his or her business with reasonable regularity. The business license of each taxicab owner shall be subject to revocation if the owner fails to operate the taxicab for any period of 60 days. Each operator of a taxicab who fails to operate it over any period of 60 days shall be given ten days’ notice to appear before the Inspector to show cause why his or her business license should not be revoked. If, upon such hearing, it shall appear that the taxicab is not being operated in the interest of the convenience and necessity of the public and not being operated with reasonable regularity, the Inspector is authorized to revoke the license. The owner of the taxicab has the right to appeal this decision to the Council on the form provided by the Police Department.
