John Callaghan. chief Of the pub
lie vehicles division Of the police
department, Saturday again asked
the public 10 assist police in
stamping out taxi fare gouging,
The system follows:
When three passengers are
taken 10 the same destination, the
amount OF the fare showing on the
meter is 10 be divided equally
among the three. If the fare, for
instance, rs 90 cents each passen-
ger pays 20 cents.
II two or more passengers 20
to separate destinations, the first
passenger to leave pays the
amount shown on the meter, The
meter is then cleared and the sec
ond passenger pays the amount
shown at his destination and so on.
STOPS GOUGING
"While this permits the taxi
company 60 make an additional
profit on flag fees, IL il about
the only way 90 stop gouging,"
Callaghan said.
'In no case, however. are pas
sengers required to pay double
the amount of fare shown on
meter" 1t. Callaghan explained
If drivers violate these rules
passengers are asked 10 commu-
nlcate with police Immediately. If
a driver is convicted of overcharg-
ing. Callaghan said, his license
Will be revoked permanently.
Actually" Callaghan pointed
out group riding is violation
of the city ordinance but We are
overlooking that due TO rulings
of the Office sEDefenSe Trans

passenger in a cab wants to Oc-
cupy II exclusively the driver
must according to law, obey his
wishes"
