Chicago Taxi Exam: Taxi Access Program! Trivia Quiz

Each CTA journal copy of the voucher for reimbursement must have a receipt indicating the pick-up and drop-off location and the meter fare attached to it.

Each CTA journal copy of the voucher for reimbursement must have a receipt attached indicating the pick-up and drop-off location and the meter fare. This is necessary to provide proof of the expenses incurred for the trip and to ensure accurate reimbursement.

When faced with a destination with an unfamiliar street address, the best course of action is to call your radio dispatch or consult a street guide for directions. This allows you to obtain the necessary information to navigate to the destination and provide a smooth and efficient service to the passenger.

If two riders have vouchers and the fare is $16.75 plus a surcharge, they can only use one voucher to cover a portion of the fare and pay the remaining fare and surcharge in cash.

The correct answer is 1 voucher for $13.50 and $1.50 in cash. This means that the TAP driver should collect a voucher worth $13.50 from the TAP qualified passenger, and also collect $1.50 in cash. This would make the total fare of $15.00.

The driver must yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian in multiple situations. This includes when the pedestrian is in a marked or unmarked crosswalk on your side of the roadway and there are no traffic control signals, when making a turn at any intersection, and when encountering persons with physical disabilities or who are deaf or hard of hearing. Therefore, all of the answers are correct.

The best way to communicate with a severely hard of hearing or deaf TAP passenger would be by writing a note to the person. This allows for clear and effective communication, ensuring that the passenger can understand and respond to any information or instructions provided. Yelling may not be effective as it can be difficult for the passenger to lip-read or understand spoken words. Not doing anything or waving hands around would not provide any meaningful communication.

A single CTA - tap voucher can be used for up to $13.50 of taxicab meter fare for a single one way trip. This means that the voucher can cover the cost of the fare up to $13.50, but any amount exceeding that will need to be paid by the passenger.

The correct answer is "Use only one voucher and pay the rest of the fare and the surcharge in cash". This means that one voucher can be used to cover a portion of the fare, and the remaining amount for the fare and the surcharge must be paid in cash. The other options either involve using both vouchers for different purposes or paying the entire fare and surcharge in cash, which is not the most efficient use of the vouchers.

A driver can pick up a TAP passenger either on the street or by dispatch. This means that they can find passengers who are waiting for a ride on the street, or they can be assigned passengers through a dispatch system. They are not limited to only picking up passengers at specific locations listed on a voucher.

When dealing with someone who has difficulty speaking, it is important to ask short questions that require short answers. This allows the person to communicate more easily and reduces the frustration of trying to speak at length. It also shows respect for their communication abilities and allows them to participate in the conversation without feeling overwhelmed. Correcting their speech mistakes or finishing their sentences for them may make them feel self-conscious or belittled. Pretending to understand when you don't can lead to misunderstandings and miscommunication.

A person who has a disability is best described as someone who has difficulty with or cannot do one or more things that most people can do. This does not necessarily mean that they are sick or have a disease. The term "disease" is not an accurate description for all disabilities, as some disabilities can be caused by genetic factors, accidents, or other reasons unrelated to illness.

To travel to a Chicago suburb using a TAP voucher, it is necessary for the suburb to be within the CTA service area. This means that the CTA provides transportation services to that particular suburb. The other conditions mentioned (calling first, having a guide dog, and the fare returning to the city) do not affect the possibility of using a TAP voucher to travel to the suburb.

It is allowable to turn left from the right lane only when directed by a police officer or when the lane is specifically marked by signs or arrows as a permissible left turn lane. In all other cases, it is not permissible to turn left from the right lane.

The TAP passenger must sign the voucher after it has been filled out. This suggests that the TAP passenger is responsible for verifying the information on the voucher and confirming that it is accurate before signing it. The other options, such as the driver or CTA, are not mentioned as being responsible for signing the voucher, indicating that it is specifically the TAP passenger's responsibility.

When talking with a person who has a disability, it is important to speak directly to the person. This shows respect and acknowledges their ability to communicate. Speaking to their companion for directions or using hand gestures may undermine their independence and agency. Speaking loudly may also be unnecessary and potentially offensive. Therefore, speaking directly to the person is the most appropriate approach.

The meter reads $38.00 for the fare, but the man pays with a TAP voucher. Therefore, he must pay an additional amount in addition to the $38.00. The correct answer is $24.50 plus extras, as this is the only option that indicates an additional payment.

The correct answer is the white cane law. This law allows a person with a guide dog to have access to public places. The white cane is a symbol of visual impairment, and this law ensures that individuals with visual impairments are able to navigate public spaces with the assistance of their guide dogs.

The correct answer is "The ride only." This means that the TAP voucher covers only the cost of the ride and does not include any additional expenses such as tips or any amount that exceeds the upper limit of the voucher.

If a driver refuses a fare because they do not know the location of the requested destination, they will be charged with a refusal of service violation and will have to retake the chauffeur's test. This is because as a professional driver, it is their responsibility to be knowledgeable about different locations and be able to provide transportation services to any requested destination. Refusing a fare based on not knowing the location is considered a violation of the driver's duty and can result in penalties and reevaluation of their qualifications.

Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often rely on lip-reading to understand spoken language. Speaking in a usual manner allows them to see the movements of your mouth and better understand what you are saying. It is not necessary to raise your voice or speak without facial expressions, as these can actually make it more difficult for them to understand you.

The correct answer is "Most direct unless the passenger directs otherwise." This means that the taxi driver should take the quickest and most efficient route to the passenger's destination, unless the passenger specifically requests a different route.

When interacting with a hearing impaired person, it is important to speak in a normal tone so as not to distort the sound and make it difficult for them to understand. Additionally, ensuring that the passenger can see your face and lips can help them to lip-read and understand your communication better. By combining both speaking in a normal tone and making sure the passenger can see your face and lips, you can effectively communicate with a hearing impaired person.

The false statement about the TAP program is that you may accept more than one voucher for a one way trip.

Tap vouchers can only be used for trips that start and end within the geographical area of Chicago city limits.

TAP vouchers are valid for 6 months. This means that the vouchers can be used within a period of 6 months from the date of issuance. After this time, the vouchers will expire and cannot be used anymore.

The correct answer is Only riders with certified special service passes and vouchers that match. This means that only individuals who have been certified as needing special services and have the corresponding vouchers are eligible to use the TAP voucher. The other options, including any disabled person and any person carrying TAP vouchers, are not accurate as they do not specify the requirement for certification and matching vouchers.

The correct answer is "Has a disease." This answer best describes a person with a disability as someone who has a disease. Disabilities can be caused by various diseases or medical conditions that affect a person's physical or mental abilities. The other options, such as being sick, being crippled, or having difficulty with certain tasks, may be associated with disabilities but do not fully encompass the definition of a person with a disability.

The information that must match between the Special Services identification card and the Chicago TAP voucher is the para transit ID number. This means that both the identification card and the voucher should have the same para transit ID number. The other options, such as the address and phone number of the TAP qualified passenger or the identification picture, may not necessarily need to match between the two documents.
