Section 706.365 - Denial of service; passengers; change of route
1. A person may not be denied service by a taxicab merely because he or she desires transportation in a direction other than that in which the driver desires to operate or to a destination different from that desired by the driver. A driver may refuse to transport a person if:
(a) The person refuses to state with specificity his or her intended destination or requests a change of destination to an inexact location;
(b) The person acts in a disorderly manner, which includes, without limitation, the use of:
(1) Hostile or offensive gestures; or
(2) Indecent or offensive language;
(c) The driver has a reasonable suspicion that the person is concealing a weapon or other dangerous object under his or her clothing; or
(d) The person requests a destination that is outside of the area within which the driver is able to communicate with the central dispatch facility described in NAC 706.3743.
2. No person other than the driver may be allowed within any taxicab unless that person is a passenger who is actually being transported and is paying a fare, unless that person is another taxicab driver being transported to or from his or her shift as a taxicab driver.
3. Passengers in a taxicab must have the exclusive use of the vehicle while being transported.
4. A driver shall not, while traveling to the destination of a passenger, take a route that is longer than necessary, unless such a route is requested by the passenger.
