In order to be able to adapt the device to the most multipurpose of demands, a greater or fewer number of recesses with keys A1 to A8 or with corresponding fill-in pieces can be provided in a key strip in a taximeter housing. A switch K1 through K8 is assigned to each key A1 through A8; the key information is supplied to the electronics and releases different key interrogation programs according to the number of keys present. With a smaller quantity of keys, several functions are assigned to the keys partially; with a larger quantity of keys, each key preferably releases only one function.
