This means that one voucher can be used to cover a portion of the fare, and the remaining amount for the fare and the surcharge must be paid in cash. The other options either involve using both vouchers for different purposes or paying the entire fare and surcharge in cash, which is not the most efficient use of the vouchers.Rate this question:

If a driver refuses a fare because they do not know the location of the requested destination, they will be charged with a refusal of service violation and will have to retake the chauffeur's test. This is because as a professional driver, it is their responsibility to be knowledgeable about different locations and be able to provide transportation services to any requested destination. Refusing a fare based on not knowing the location is considered a violation of the driver's duty and can result in penalties and reevaluation of their qualifications.Rate this question:
