Transportation offices - Hoboken, NJ
A press release was made available today to local media to announce that all Hoboken yellow cabs will each be outfitted with 3 gas masks for riders to use if they feel the need to. Local city hall employees have been at the brunt of many recent complaints that Hoboken cab drivers smell like old milk amongst other terms. Representatives for the town transportation department are using this gas mask idea temporarily until better measures can be made and worked in to the towns seemingly never ending surplus.
Local resident Kristen said this morning "This idea is fantastic. On 9-14-10 at 5:56pm I got in cab #54 at the PATH train and my driver smelled really bad. I had to hold my nose all the way to the Shipyard.
Mike Davis, another Hoboken resident said "I am so happy to hear this news. I was starting to think that these guys were washing once a week out of bed pans."
Effective 9-24-10 riders may request the cab driver to "pop the trunk" to gain access to masks. "There is no added surcharge to use these masks" said city officials. "We want our residents to be taken to their destinations as pleasantly as possible. We will continue to make new strides to make riding in our shit smelling taxis better in the months to come".
