(B) Each taxicab shall have some designation of the character of the vehicle painted in plain visible letters on each side thereof.
(C) Each taxicab shall display on the inside a card printed in plain, legible letters giving the number of the license, the minimum rates of fare to be charged and a statement that any package or article left in the taxicab must be returned by the taxicab driver to the City Manager’s office, where it may be identified and claimed. The card shall also contain the statement “Ask the Driver for Bill and Receipt,” in bold type.
