Taxicab hack-up and maintenance

Chapter 67 sets the rules for which vehicle models may be used as yellow taxicabs and how they must be hacked up (fitted out) and maintained, including accessible models. It replaced old Chapter 3 (Taxicab Specifications) in April 2011 and is still in force.

Taxicab model rules: minivan as an approved hybrid taxi type

In the 2011 rule book, §67-05 set specifications for hybrid electric taxicab models; (a)(2) allowed a minivan as one of the vehicle types. Chapter 67 itself says it carries no penalties; violations are charged under the driver and owner chapters. This 2013 code likely concerned a taxi that did not meet the approved model specifications.

Taxi distress lights do not flash 60–120 times per minute

Yellow taxis must have a help/distress light system of two amber "lollipop" lights. The technical specifications say the lights must be able to flash between 60 and 120 times per minute. Chapter 67 has no penalty of its own; owners are charged under Chapter 58.
