The Municipal Council may designate such place or places within
the City as public taxicab stands as, in its judgment, it may deem
necessary and as may be required for the proper transportation of
passengers.
A.
Each taxicab stand shall be marked with a suitable stanchion, which
shall bear the legend that it is a stand reserved for taxicabs only,
or words to that effect.
B.
Only taxicabs in such numbers as are designated on the sign shall
remain at a public taxicab stand while waiting for employment, and
only in single file, pointed in accordance with traffic regulations.
C.
No taxicab standing at the head of any such line shall refuse to
carry any orderly person applying for a taxicab who agrees to pay
the proper rate of fare. This shall not prevent any person from selecting
any taxicab he may desire at the taxicab stand, whether it be at the
head of the line or not.
D.
As said taxicab leaves the line with passengers, those behind shall
move up, and any taxicab seeking a space at the taxicab stand shall
approach the same only from the rear of the stand and shall stop as
near as possible to the last public taxicab already in the line.
No taxicab driver shall stand in front of the entrance to any
building within the prohibited space after his passengers, desiring
to leave, have alighted, or attempt to stand in said prohibited space
waiting for passengers.
No driver of a taxicab shall suffer or permit persons to loiter
in or about his taxicab.
No vehicle other than a licensed taxicab shall stop on any public
taxicab stand, except while loading or unloading goods, wares or merchandise
or receiving or discharging passengers.
A.
No driver of a taxicab shall induce any person to employ the use
of the taxicab by knowingly misinforming such person, either as to
the time or place of the arrival or departure of any train or boat
or as to the location of any hotel, public place or private residence
within the City or as to the distance between any two points; nor
shall any such taxicab driver deceive any person or make any false
representation to him or convey any passenger to any other place or
over any other route than that to which such passenger may have instructed
said driver to go.
B.
Unless otherwise ordered, passengers shall be conveyed only over
the most practical direct route to their destination.
[Amended 11-26-1986 by Ord. No. MC-2248; 4-9-1987 by Ord. No. MC-2289]
Every driver of a taxicab, immediately after the termination
of any hiring or employment, shall carefully search such taxicab for
any property lost or left therein. Any such property, unless sooner
claimed or delivered to the owner, shall be reported, in writing,
by the driver or taxicab licensee to the Police Department, with brief
particulars and description of the property, within 24 hours after
the finding thereof.
[Added 4-13-1995 by Ord. No. MC-3095]
A.
No taxicab driver shall operate a taxicab in the City of Camden unless
said taxicab is being operated in compliance with N.J.S.A. 39:3-76.2a,
requiring the use of child passenger restraint systems and/or rear
seat safety belts, where appropriate, and as directed by statute.
B.
Any person guilty of violating this section shall be subject to the
fines and penalties set forth in N.J.S.A. 39:3-76.2d.
