From any point north of Northline Road to any point south of Eureka Road;
From any point west of Reeck Road to any point east of Trenton Road; and
All other points in the City.
(b) The rate established shall be per person carried and there shall be no limit as to the number of persons such taxicab shall carry, except as the same affects or intrudes upon the safe operation of the motor vehicle. There shall be posted in a conspicuous place on the inside of each taxicab a card on which shall be printed in plain legible type the rates of fare as provided for in this chapter. Council may, from time to time, by resolution, change such rates as it deems necessary to serve the best interest of both the taxicab owner and the public. Council may, in its discretion in changing the rates, conduct a public hearing thereon.
