Double fare may be charged between one and five o'clock
antemeridian. Drivers shall not be compelled to carry passengers
beyond the city limits.
In the smaller towns and in the country the hiring of a vehicle,
like most commercial transactions, is a matter of bargain. The proper
fare depends very largely on the state of the road and the chance of
securing a return passenger, and therefore varies very greatly. The
customary rate over a frequently traveled route can usually be learned
by consulting some disinterested person, preferably an American. In
every case the amount to be paid should be settled in advance.
