It is unlawful for any driver or operator of any taxicab to present his/her vehicle as a taxicab unless it is either equipped with a taximeter in working order duly inspected and approved as in this chapter provided, or posted with a schedule of flat rate fares which signify the fare charged per person for a one-way ride. Taxicabs may have both taximeters and a schedule of flat rate fares and it shall be the duty of the driver or operator to clearly indicate to the passenger(s) at the beginning of the ride whether the passenger is being charged by using the taximeter or by a flat rate fare. Each passenger in the taxicab may be charged the flat rate fare. (Ord. 938, 12-17-2015)
