The amount of such surety bond required of the owner of service cars shall not be less than two thousand dollars and an additional sum of five hundred dollars for each passenger over four in number, but in no case shall a bond of more than five thousand dollars be required. The calculation of the amount of the bond shall be based upon the carrying capacity of the service car as shown by the sworn application for license filed with the clerk of the police jury. The bond shall be drawn in favor of the clerk of the court but shall inure to the benefit of anyone in interest who shall have a right of action in his own name. The bond shall be recorded in the office of the recorder of mortgages.
