(a) Each taxicab operated in the County must have at least 3 doors. All doors must operate safely.
(b) A licensee or driver must not operate a taxicab unless the taxicab bears markings in letters plainly distinguishable on each of the 2 sides of the taxicab, showing the approved name of the fleet or association by whom the taxicab is owned or operated.
(c) Each fleet or association must register its colors with the Department. A fleet or association may register one or more color combinations, and any fleet or association may register black as one of its colors. A fleet or association must not use colors that are similar to those of another fleet or association so that the public can readily identify taxicabs operated by that fleet or association. The Director may approve advertising in different colors or markings as long as the public can still readily identify taxicabs operated by that licensee, or the use of a set of different colors and markings to identify a specialized service provided by or geographic area served by a fleet or association. Any color or color combination approved by the Department, other than black, must be reserved for the exclusive use of that fleet or association when the fleet or association is operating taxicabs in the County.
(d) Each licensee must insure that each fleet or association uses only the approved name of the fleet or association in advertising or listing its service to the public. (2004 L.M.C., ch. 27, § 1; 2015 L.M.C., ch. 39, § 1.)
