in effect

Sec. 76-205. - Duty to accept passengers. No driver shall refuse or neglect to transport any orderly person or persons upon request anywhere in the city unless previously engaged, provided that such person agrees to pay the legal rate of fare. A taxicab driver, when such notice is posted in the cab, may: (1) Refuse to accept a personal check in payment of the fare; (2) Refuse to provide more than $10.00 in change in return for payment of a fare. In the event that a fare has accrued and a driver refuses to accept payment under the provisions of this section, the passenger shall be transported to the nearest place where acceptable payment may be obtained. A fare may be charged for all distances traveled in this pursuit, and for returning the passenger to his or her original destination. (Ord. No. 150203, § 2, 4-9-15)
