Local cab owners are tired of paying for your good time. Cabbies are asking council to impose a $120 cleaning fee if someone vomits or defecates in their cars. Cab Owner Paul Soares says it's a public safety issue. "It's not the matter of picking up the cleaning fees, it's also the fights that some times occur. It's also having a clean cab". Soares says it's not as simple as rinsing out the cab after someone vomited. "It's not just about a little bit of puke or whatever the case may be, there's a lot in to it. If it isn't cleaned properly, that's the second part of it. Somebody can get sick from that; like this weekend I said somebody got injured from some kind of accident and there was perversely a lot of bleeding in the car and we have to get that cleaned. If you come in to contact with that, you can get severely sick". Soares says the vehicle needs to be cleaned with special chemicals that remove biohazards. Council has asked staff to come up with options for a possible bylaw and also to look into if council has a legal right to force someone to pay a fine.
