§ 407-1-P1. Public Vehicle.

"Public Vehicle" shall mean a vehicle, other than a charitable non-profit transportation vehicle as defined in Section 407-1-C2, by which individual service for compensation in the transportation of persons on the public streets is furnished or offered to be furnished. Vehicles offering service in the transportation of persons on the public streets that make profit primarily through advertising or another method besides passenger fare are public vehicles. Public vehicles are classified as "taxicabs," "limousines," "accessible vehicles," "tour vehicles," "animal-drawn carriages," "transportation network vehicles," "low speed vehicles," and "pedicabs."

Vehicles furnishing mass transportation service of persons, such as motor buses, which are operated over fixed routes on a fixed schedule or between fixed termini, are not included in the term "public vehicle," but must comply with the appropriate provisions of law and the Cincinnati Municipal Code.
