Chicago Cab Vomit Fee Would Be First Of Its Kind

tylercoates:

Chicago could become the first major city in the country with a puking ordinance if cab drivers get their way.

Chicago taxi drivers proposed a package of fee and fare hikes Thursday designed to offset their plunging income during the recession. Among the more controversial revenue-boosting ideas brought to the City Council is charging customers $50 for vomiting in cabs.

For the record: I haven’t vomited in a cab in sixteen months!

I haven’t vomited in a cab in about 5 days. It was my first time ever and proves how much of a shit show last Wednesday night (bachelor party) was for me. Pretty sure this is the last thing I’ll say publicly about that night.

Also, I support this law wholeheartedly. It’s disgusting and if some kid hopped in my office and puked, I’d be pissed and so I can see exactly where the cabbies are coming from.
