Whom should a taxi driver approach when his taxi meter malfunctions?
- The Licensing Office.
- An appropriate garage.
- Correct answer: A certified taxi-meter repair service provider.
- The taxi owner.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: A certified taxi-meter repair service provider.
A taxi meter is a calibrated, sealed device that sets the fare the passenger pays. Only a certified taxi-meter repair service provider may repair it, recalibrate it and reseal it, so the fare stays accurate and fair. An ordinary garage is not authorised to work on the meter, and the Licensing Office does not repair equipment. The taxi owner may not fix the meter himself either.
