- The trip must be estimated to exceed 10 miles and use the meter
- The customer had better have a good story to expect the driver to take less than what is normally due for the ride
- The trip must be within the city limits
Correct Answer

A. The trip must be estimated to exceed 5 miles and the meter is used

Explanation

The requirement for a driver to negotiate a fare or flat rate lower than the metered rate before beginning a trip is that the trip must be estimated to exceed 5 miles and the meter is used. This means that if the estimated distance of the trip is less than 5 miles, the driver cannot negotiate a lower fare and must charge the metered rate. However, if the estimated distance is more than 5 miles, the driver and customer can negotiate a lower fare before starting the trip. The use of the meter ensures that the fare is still calculated accurately based on the actual distance traveled.

What is the proper procedure to follow when a chauffeur finds any package – article – baggage or goods of any kind left in the vehicle?
- Report it to the police department
- Take article back to last destination address
- Take it to the department of consumer services or a cab company having a lost and found facility
- Look for identification to determine ownership
Correct Answer

A. Take it to the department of consumer services or a cab company having a lost and found facility

Explanation

When a chauffeur finds any package, article, baggage, or goods left in the vehicle, the proper procedure is to take it to the department of consumer services or a cab company that has a lost and found facility. This ensures that the item is safely stored and can be returned to its rightful owner. Reporting it to the police department may not be necessary unless the item is suspicious or potentially dangerous. Taking the article back to the last destination address may not be feasible or practical, as the owner may have already left the location. Looking for identification to determine ownership is a good practice, but ultimately, the item should be handed over to the appropriate department or company for safekeeping.

Which statement does not apply to group ride?
- 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 it is mentioned in the other statements that only one fare is collected and the last passenger is required to pay the fare. Therefore, it implies that each passenger does not pay $10.00 individually.

Rate this question:

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 considered wrong because it goes against ethical and professional standards. As a driver, the primary responsibility is to provide efficient and safe transportation to the passenger. Choosing an indirect route solely to increase the fare is dishonest and takes advantage of the passenger's trust. It is important to prioritize the passenger's needs and provide them with the most direct and efficient route possible.
