As used in this chapter, "taxicab" means any motor vehicle engaged in the business of transporting passengers for hire by answering special calls, or making trips from private premises or any legally authorized stand or garage, when specially employed, and which, when not so engaged and employed, returns to and remains at such premises, stand or garage.
(Ord. 97-93. Passed 4-21-97.)
The provisions of this chapter do not apply to automobiles or motor vehicles used exclusively as hearses, ambulances or limousines, but shall apply to any and all other automobiles or motor vehicles used for the purpose of transporting passengers for hire and operating exclusively within the territorial limits of the City at any time on and over any of the streets, avenues, alleys and public places in the City.
(Ord. 97-93. Passed 4-21-97.)
(a) No license required by Section 750.03 shall be issued until the person desiring a license to operate a taxicab shall file with the City a written application therefor, stating:
(1) The make of each motor vehicle to be used;
(2) The State license number of each vehicle;
(3) The factory and serial numbers of each vehicle;
(4) The name of the owner of each vehicle; and
(5) The seating capacity of the vehicle as originally purchased and, if changed, the seating capacity in its changed form.
(b) Upon application to the Police Division for a license to operate a taxicab, each person seeking such vehicle license shall pay an annual license fee of ten dollars ($10.00) per year, for each vehicle. Each vehicle license fee will permit the holder thereof to operate a taxicab or taxicabs under the provisions of this chapter until December 31 following the date of the license. There are no pro rata provisions for this fee. The original license, as provided by the Elyria Police Division, with a schedule of rates of fare, shall be exhibited in a prominent place in the taxicab.
