Such sign must be displayed at the time a passenger is picked up and for the duration of a trip in at least one conspicuous location in or on the vehicle such that the name of the high-volume for-hire service is easily visible to a person standing outside the vehicle. The commission may by rule establish additional requirements relating to such signs and the display of such signs.
