(A) Company name. No person shall operate or cause to be operated within the city any taxicab carrying passengers for hire from place to place within the city unless the correct name and telephone number of the person or firm owning and operating the vehicle is clearly and visibly marked on both sides of the vehicle in permanent letters at least four inches high.
(B) Vehicle number. The Taxicab Inspector shall assign a number to each taxicab permitted to be operated under the provisions of this chapter. The numbers shall begin with number one and shall run consecutively from that number up to and including the total number of taxicabs authorized to be operated in the city. No two taxicabs shall be numbered the same, it being the intent of this section that the numbering of taxicabs in the city shall not be according to the number operated by any individual firm or owner, but shall be according to the total number of taxicabs authorized to be operated within the city. Each person receiving a license under this chapter shall appear before the Taxicab Inspector for assignment of a number for the taxicab covered by the license, and the number so assigned shall be permanently marked on the sides of the taxicab, immediately below the required name and telephone number, in numerals four inches high. No person shall operate or cause to be operated any taxicab without the number being painted thereon as required by this section, or to operate or cause to be operated any taxicab which is numbered in any manner except as required by this section. No person shall operate more than one taxicab with the same numbers marked thereon.
