The DC Taxicab Commission today ordered the DC Express Cab Company to stop operating and begin removal of its 17 vehicles from city streets. The action was taken as a result of numerous violations of Taxicab rules and regulations.
The Commission found that the Company could not provide a current occupancy permit, failed to maintain an administrative office in the District of Columbia with a telephone number and address listed in the name of the company and was unable to demonstrate that it was operating as a legal business entity.
Additionally, the Commission found that the Company failed to maintain at least twenty (20) insured vehicles within the fleet, failed to file a notice of transfer and falsified its records concerning ownership and business address.
