Two Honolulu city council members proposed a bill that would ban certain annoying behavior on buses including bad body odor. If passed, perps could face a $500 fine or six months in jail. From KITV:
"It's horrible — sometimes you have to get up and open up the vents, and it's just obnoxious," said veteran bus driver Thom Robinson.
Supporters of the bus behavior bill said it also includes and consolidates a lot of other useful prohibitions already on the books such as forbidding spitting on buses, being drunk on a bus or urinating when you are on a bus or at a bus stop.
The city transportation services department supports the bill pending legal review saying much of it is already law.
Council Considers BO Ban (Thanks, Koshi!)
