Section 20-371
§ 20-371 Licensing of sight-seeing buses, horse drawn cabs and horse
drawn cab drivers. Legislative findings. The legislative findings
heretofore made in relation to the business of sight-seeing buses and
horse drawn cabs in the city of New York and set forth in local law
number ten of nineteen hundred sixty-four continue to be valid; such
businesses are vested with a public interest and their regulation and
control continue to be necessary and essential in order to cope with
certain evils and hazards which existed in the absence of governmental
supervision. The supervision formerly was reposed in the police
commissioner, but recent experience and study indicate that jurisdiction
over such businesses should be transferred to the commissioner. It is
further found that the present number of horse drawn cabs licensed in
the city of New York is adequate to meet the public need and demand and
should be preserved, unless the commissioner finds that additional
licenses are necessary and advisable.
Section 20-372
§ 20-372 Definitions. Whenever used in this subchapter, the following

Section 20-373
§ 20-373 License required; fee; term. a. It shall be unlawful to

horse-drawn cab license shall be at least eighteen years of age.
b. Fees. The original and renewal license fee for each sight-seeing
bus shall be fifty dollars and for each horse-drawn cab shall be fifty
dollars.
c. The commissioner shall not renew any horse-drawn cab license in the
event that he or she shall determine that the horse-drawn cab has not
been operated for at least four months during the preceding license
year, provided that such failure to operate shall not have been caused
by strike, riot, war or other public catastrophe. However, in the event
that it is shown to the commissioner by competent proof that the
licensee has been disabled through illness or has been unable to operate
the horse-drawn cab because of other cause beyond his or her control,
the commissioner may renew such license.

Section 20-374
§ 20-374 Granting and transferring of licenses. a. Any person, firm,
partnership, corporation or association, owning or operating a
sight-seeing bus, or buses, or horse-drawn cab, or cabs engaging in the
business of transporting passengers in, about, over and upon any of the
streets, avenues, bridges, highways, boulevards or public places within
the limits of the city of New York, shall be issued a license for each
bus or cab so operating, provided, however any such person, firm,
partnership, corporation or association owning or operating a
sight-seeing bus or buses, shall first have obtained a license or
licenses, as he or she shall be entitled to receive from the
commissioner of motor vehicles of the state of New York as made and
provided by law.
b. It shall be unlawful for a license, after being issued by the
commissioner, to be transferred to any person, firm, partnership,
corporation or association for any cause whatsoever, except that
licenses for horse-drawn cabs may be transferred with the approval of
the commissioner. Upon voluntary sale or transfer of a licensed
horse-drawn cab by the holder of a license or his or her legal
representative, the licensee shall immediately notify the commissioner
of his or her intention to replace such horse-drawn cab, or shall
surrender his or her license. If the license is surrendered, the vendee
or transferee may make application to the commissioner for the licensing
of the horse-drawn cab so purchased. A new license shall then be issued
by the commissioner in place of the license so surrendered, provided the
applicant has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the commissioner that
he or she is qualified to assume the duties and obligations of a
horse-drawn cab license.
c. The commissioner shall issue additional licenses only after
conducting a public hearing to determine whether the public convenience,
welfare and necessity require the operation of additional horse-drawn
cabs. The public hearing shall be called upon his or her own motion or
upon written request by any applicant. Notice of such public hearing
shall be published in the City Record once a week for two consecutive
weeks and shall be mailed to all current licensees. If the commissioner
shall determine that additional horse-drawn cabs are necessary and
advisable, he or she shall certify the number of new licenses to be
granted. Not more than one such public hearing shall be held during any
calendar year and the commissioner may refuse to consider any request if
it appears that a recent public hearing has adequately considered the
question. In making his or her determination, the commissioner shall
consider among other things, the income of the driver, the income of the
owner, the effect upon traffic, and the public demand. The new licenses
which are granted shall be allocated to the then existent licensees in
the ratio of the number of licenses held by the licensee to the total
number of licenses issued and in effect. If a licensee does not accept
his or her allotted number within sixty days, his or her additional
licenses shall be allocated in the same manner among the remaining
licensees. If the number of additional licenses authorized is
insufficient to permit such allocation, then the distribution among
those licensees entitled to the smallest number of additional licenses
shall be made so that priority shall be given to those who have been
uninterruptedly licensed for the longest period. New applicants for such
additional licenses shall be considered only when the present licensees
refuse to accept their allocation of licenses in the manner provided
above. The distribution of such additional licenses to new applicants
shall be in the order of their filing, provided however that each new
applicant shall not be entitled to more than one such additional license
until each new applicant who has filed at the time of distribution and
who is otherwise eligible has received one license.
Section 20-375
§ 20-375 License plate. Upon the payment of the license fee the
commissioner shall issue a license to the owner of the sightseeing bus
or horse drawn cab together with a license plate to be securely affixed
to a conspicuous and indispensable part of such sightseeing bus or
securely and conspicuously affixed to the rear axle of such horse drawn
cab, on which shall be clearly set forth the license number of such
sightseeing bus or horse drawn cab. The license plate issued to the
licensee may, in the discretion of the commissioner, be a plate of a
permanent nature with a replaceable date tag attached thereto,
indicating the expiration date of the plate during each license year and
the issuance of such a plate with such date tag to a person possessing
such a plate, shall be deemed issuance of a license plate. Such license
plate and the replaceable date tag to be issued from year to year to be
attached thereto, shall be of such material, form, design and dimension
and set forth such distinguishing number or other identification marks
as the commissioner shall prescribe. The commissioner upon renewal of
the license hereunder, may continue the use of the license plate for as
many additional license years as he or she in his or her discretion may
determine, in which event he or she shall issue and deliver to the
licensee a replaceable date tag as evidence of renewal of the license,
which shall be attached or affixed in such manner as he or she may
prescribe by rule. The failure to affix or display such date tag in a
manner prescribed by the commissioner shall constitute a violation of
this section. In the event of the loss, mutilation or destruction of any
license plate or date tag issued hereunder, the owner may file such
statement and proof of facts as the commissioner shall require, with a
fee of twenty-five dollars, at the department, and the department shall
issue a duplicate or substitute license plate or date tag.
