(a) The charge for the use of taxicabs operating under the provisions of this chapter shall be calculated and determined by taximeter on the basis of the distance traveled and the time consumed in waiting, and no other method of computing the fare shall be used, except that employment may be accepted whereby the fare is to be computed on an hourly rate or on a special trip basis. Charges calculated other than by taximeter shall be reduced to a writing signed by the driver and passenger at the inception of employment.
(b) A printed copy of the schedule of rates shall be posted on the inside of each taxicab licensed to operate within the Municipality so that it is plainly visible to any passenger riding therein. No owner or his driver shall charge a higher rate of fare than the one so filed and posted.
