§ 32-57. Limitations upon solicitations.
(a)
No taxicab driver shall solicit patronage in a loud or annoying tone of voice or in any manner annoy any person or obstruct the movement of any persons or follow any person for the purpose of soliciting patronage. No person shall solicit passengers at the terminal of any other common carrier nor at any intermediate points along any established route of any common carrier.
(b)
When any taxicab is at any rail, air or bus depot within the city, it shall be unlawful for the driver or person in charge of such taxicab to leave the same and enter the depot or go upon the sidewalk or private property of any railroad company, airline or bus company for the purpose of soliciting the transportation of any passenger arriving on trains, planes or buses at the depot. Drivers may, however, leave their vehicles when actually necessary to enter or leave, or in any case of accident, necessity or emergency beyond the control of the driver.
