Old for-hire vehicle rules (drivers, vehicles and bases)

Old 1990s for-hire rule charged to individuals, text not online (1996–1998)

This is item 6-06(f)(3) of an earlier version of the TLC's for-hire vehicle rules (old Chapter 6) used until about 1997, when the chapter was renumbered. These 570 charges were written in 1996–1998 against individual drivers, usually as the only charge, sometimes together with 6-06(a)(1), 6-06(a)(3) or old 6-07 codes. In the later numbering (about 1997–2011), §6-06 covered base license requirements and 6-06(f) had no paragraph (3), so this code comes from the earlier 1990s numbering. The text of that version is not available online.

Base did not keep a 24-hour contact number on file with the TLC

Old Rule 6-06(g)(1) required a base owner to keep on file with the TLC a current phone number (with an answering machine), pager or answering service so the TLC could reach the owner 24 hours a day. It applied to owners of base stations, black car bases and luxury limousine bases. These charges (violation dates 2007–2009) were written mostly against base companies.

Base did not provide wheelchair-accessible service

Since October 31, 2001, old Rule 6-07(f) required every for-hire base to serve passengers with disabilities, either by dispatching its own wheelchair-accessible vehicle on request or by arranging one through a contract with another licensed base. The service had to be equivalent to regular service in response time, fares, hours, reservations and trip limits. Charges cluster in 2004–2006 and 2010.

In the 2010 text, old Rule 6-07(g) required a base to keep and enforce rules and policies stopping its affiliated or dispatched vehicles and drivers from picking up street hails (livery cars could only take pre-arranged trips). Most charges came in 2009. About 75 earlier charges from 1995–1998 used an older lettering of the chapter and may have meant a different rule.

Former TLC Rule 6-07(g)TLC Rules, old Chapter 6 – For-Hire Vehicles (last version, Dec 2010)

Old for-hire rule from the late 1990s (exact text not online)

This charge cites old TLC Rule 6-07(i), written in 1996–1997. In the 2004 and 2010 copies of the old For-Hire Vehicle chapter, §6-07 is "Operation of the Base" and its lettering ends at (f) in 2004 and (l) in 2010, so this code comes from an earlier 1990s version of the chapter whose text is not online. Only 4 charges exist. (The 2010 text has a different, later (i) about automatic end of vehicle affiliation, which is not a charge.) The whole chapter was replaced in April 2011 by Chapters 55, 59A and 59B.

Base dispatched a vehicle that was not affiliated with it

Old Rule 6-07(j) barred a base from dispatching a vehicle not affiliated with that base, unless it was an accessible vehicle sent under a contract, or a vehicle from another licensed base and the customer was told it came from the second base. All charges were written to companies, mostly in 2010.
