It shall be unlawful for the owner or driver of any taxicab to use such vehicle for
any purpose other than the transporting of passengers for hire, or for running errands
or delivery of packages customary in the taxicab business for hire. If the owner of
any vehicle licenses as a taxicab, under the provisions of the article, during off-duty

also be unlawful to use such vehicle for any purpose other than the taxicab purposes
set forth in section 90-92 unless the "out of service" sign is displayed as required.
