CHEYENNE, WYOMING - The Cheyenne City Council is considering more regulations for taxi companies doing business in the city.

Six cab companies are licensed to do business in Cheyenne. Right now, those cabs aren't individually checked for insurance coverage even though the state seeks proof that a cab company carries a $500,000 commercial insurance policy. City ordinance currently requires cabs to post their fares.

Also, owners must prove that they carry a commercial insurance policy and drivers are subject to background checks. A draft ordinance would require licenses and an insurance form to be conspicuously displayed inside a cab. Cabs also would have to be annually inspected to make sure they're roadworthy and that their odometers are accurate.
