Only public hacks in such number and of such kinds as are set forth
in the application and license therefor may remain at any hacking stand while
waiting for employment and may so remain only in single file pointed in accordance
with traffic regulations. No public hack standing at the head of any such
line shall refuse to carry any orderly person applying for a hack who agrees
to pay the proper rate of fare. But this shall not prevent any person from
selecting any hack he or she may desire, whether it is at the head of the
line or not. No vehicle of any kind shall stand within five feet of any crosswalk
or within 10 feet of any fire hydrant.
The maximum rate of fare for public hacks in the Incorporated Village
of Bellerose shall be $0.25 to any place in the Village.
No person shall charge or attempt to charge any passenger a greater
rate of fare than that to which the public hack is entitled under the provisions
of this chapter.
Any violation of the provisions of the foregoing shall be deemed to
be disorderly conduct, punishable, upon conviction, either by a fine of not
less than $5 nor more than $25 for each offense or by imprisonment for a period
not to exceed 30 days, or by both. Upon conviction of a violation of the provisions
of the foregoing, the Board of Trustees may revoke the license of any person
so convicted or of the employer of any such person.
