    1.    When would it be WRONG to take an indirect route

    • Weather conditions prohibit taking the most direct route

    • The passenger requests it

    • Street closing prevents the most direct route

    • An indirect route is chosen to increase the fare

    Correct Answer
    A. An indirect route is chosen to increase the fare
    Explanation
    Taking an indirect route to increase the fare would be wrong because it goes against the principle of providing the most efficient and cost-effective transportation service. The purpose of a taxi or transportation service is to take the passenger from one point to another in the quickest and most direct way possible. Choosing an indirect route solely to increase the fare would be unethical and dishonest towards the passenger.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    1.    Which statement does not apply to group ride? A.

    • Each passenger pays $10.00

    • Only at the direction of the first passenger

    • Collection of only one fare is permitted

    • The last passenger to leave is required to pay the fare

    Correct Answer
    A. Each passenger pays $10.00
    Explanation
    The statement "Each passenger pays $10.00" does not apply to group ride because the question states that "Only at the direction of the first passenger" and "Collection of only one fare is permitted". This means that the fare is collected based on the direction of the first passenger, and only one fare is collected for the entire group ride, not from each individual passenger. Therefore, the statement "Each passenger pays $10.00" is not applicable to group ride.
