SCHEDULE I
The maximum rates for travel by taxicab from the location of the Burlington International Airport shall be as follows, such maximum rates having been previously approved by unanimous vote of the Board of Airport Commissioners:
$2.00 flag drop fee and for the first 1/6th mile;
$1.65 per mile for mileage exceeding 1/6th mile but not exceeding ten (10) miles;
$1.35 per mile for all mileage in excess of ten (10) miles;
In addition to the above maximum mileage rates, taxicab rates may include a charge for waiting time in traffic while carrying a fare at the rate of $18.00 per hour, such additional rate to be called "tariff time." Waiting time and tariff time shall not be charged simultaneously.
If any taxicab is requested to wait while a fare leaves the taxicab for a period of time with the expectation of returning thereto and traveling further, the rate for such waiting time may be as negotiated between the taxicab operator and the taxicab passenger.
The above maximum rates apply to the first passenger in the cab. The taxicab is authorized to charge $1.00 extra for each additional person traveling in the same party as the customer to a maximum of five (5) persons in the taxicab.
Sharing of taxicab by individuals who are not traveling in the same party shall not be permissible except when directed by the airport’s ground transportation officer with the prior agreement of the traveling parties.
