Chicago is implementing a $50 vomit fee in cabs.

You bulimics and drunks might want to look into the bus routes.

    I'm sure the cabbie will enjoy getting 2 vomit soaked twenties and a ten.

    :lol:

    Cabs had this when I was in college. If you threw up in their cab you had to pay a cleaning fee otherwise they'd drive you right to the police station.

    One could even say that a "Chicago taxi" is in fact a cop car.

    Just another "tax" to keep the man down.

    It may keep the man down, but not all the sausages and beer he consumed earlier.

    Gotta say I don't blame them, who wants to clean that shit up? Although it may deter people from taking cabs...which is bad news. I'll stick to the train and just get yelled at by the conductor :lol:

    Did you notice if you got any on the side of the car? Maybe a $25 fee for you.

    Thats precisely what I was wondering -- how many people are so fucked up that they cant roll the window down? This may cause more drive-by-vomittings. Chicago's got more problems. ;)

    I have definitely been in a cab more than once where a friend has puked. One of the times, we got thrown out of the cab in a not so nice area of the city very late at night....glad we made it out of that one alive.
