Clean Up After Passengers
The students from the university campuses around Binghamton are leaving the bars in the area and heading for taxis well and truly over the legal limit. However, many of the students are not only drunk but they are also vomiting in the taxis on their way home too.
While limousines have a standard fee for any damage caused by the passengers during the course of their trip, the taxis have a fee but cannot enforce payment. While those who damage their limousine will pay for the damage because it is the right thing to do, it is also generally in the booking contract that they have signed that they will pay for any damage they inflict on the limo.
However, taxis are not hired in the same sense as limousines and no agreement has been reached as to the passenger’s behaviour or culpability. Therefore, while many of the students pay the fee to avoid police involvement because some of them are underage, the police cannot force the students to pay the fine.
While the taxi drivers can get the police and authorities involved by taking their drunken student passengers to small claims court or pressing charges for ‘theft of cleaning services’ or ‘disorderly conduct’ these acts would have to be witnesses by an officer for the students to be arrested.
The fee is important to the taxi drivers as not only do they, or their company, have to pay fort he cleaning of the taxi, they also lose the time they spend getting the taxi cleaned when they could have been out working.
The students are getting off quite easy if they simply pay the fee to the Binghamton taxi drivers for the clean up of their taxis as it is only $50, the same type of fee in a limousine would be several hundred dollars. This is not only because the limo hire companies are trying to discourage these types of people and behaviours, it is also because the limo hire companies pay more for their cleanup services and do a more thorough job.
