No person, firm or corporation shall engage in the business of operating a taxicab in whole or in part on any of the streets and public ways in the city, or on any other property owned by the city, without first having secured a limousine owner’s license as provided herein. The application, qualifications, procedures (including public hearings), fees, issuance, display, renewal, revocation and other matters relative to a limousine owner’s license shall be the same as those pertaining to taxicab owner’s license but with reference to one or more limousines and one or more fixed routes or schedules. There shall, however, always be held a public hearing relative to any issuance of a limousine owner’s license or amendment thereto. An application for a limousine owner’s license may, but need not be, made by a holder of a taxicab owner’s license or in conjunction with an application therefore.
