(a) In automobiles operated for hire no person shall be carried without the consent of the person engaging the automobile.

The carrying capacity of all such vehicles shall be determined by the Bureau of Motor Vehicles and shall be conspicuously marked within and without the vehicle. However, the carrying capacity of a safari may not be more than 27 passengers.
If the owner of any vehicle is dissatisfied as to the number permitted to be carried as determined by the Director, he may appeal to the Superior Court.
