B.A taxi fleet certificate
C.An approved taximeter seal
D.An urban taxi licence
Explanation: Licensed ride-hailing passenger service must be provided by a private car issued with a valid ride-hailing vehicle permit. Separate requirements apply to the driver and platform.

A.Only the individual registered owner of that vehicle
B.Any driver employed by the platform

A.Only through an order booked and dispatched by a licensed ride-hailing platform
B.Through a street hail, provided the permitted car displays its ride-hailing vehicle certificate
C.Through a booking made directly with the owner-driver without using a licensed platform
D.Through either a licensed-platform order or a queue at a designated taxi stand

A.A ride-hailing vehicle certificate in the position and manner specified by the Commissioner for Transport

A.Complete the prescribed pre-printed receipt by hand
B.Refuse because only machine receipts are valid
