It's too bad that the existing ordinances in Houston are never enforced.</p> <p>On a positive note, I was at the Heights Transit Center yesterday and most of the pigeon poop has been cleaned up.</p> <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.ridemetro.org/> http://blogs.ridemetro.org/blogs/write_on/archive/2009/09/09/Stinking-Riders_3F00_-They_2700_re-Still-Allowed-On_2D00_board.aspx#8411Thu, 10 Sep 2009 13:43:24 GMTd28ebc89-27af-41e7-9b5c-0c1b3d1b56ff:8411ChloeMireille<p>There's a big difference between someone being a little funky from sweating and someone stinking enough to induce vomiting. The latter is who these ordinances should be targeting. </p> <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.ridemetro.org/> http://blogs.ridemetro.org/blogs/write_on/archive/2009/09/09/Stinking-Riders_3F00_-They_2700_re-Still-Allowed-On_2D00_board.aspx#8418Thu, 10 Sep 2009 20:44:49 GMTd28ebc89-27af-41e7-9b5c-0c1b3d1b56ff:8418Lunk<p>&quot;The bill also would have prohibited spitting, urinating and being intoxicated.&quot; &nbsp;</p> <p>So since the Bill failed to pass, does that mean you can be intoxicated while spitting and urinating on the bus / train? &nbsp;WOW! &nbsp;I would think this would still fall under some type of disorderly conduct law. &nbsp;But still, pretty interesting in the way it was written. </p> <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.ridemetro.org/> http://blogs.ridemetro.org/blogs/write_on/archive/2009/09/09/Stinking-Riders_3F00_-They_2700_re-Still-Allowed-On_2D00_board.aspx#8424Sun, 13 Sep 2009 03:43:44 GMTd28ebc89-27af-41e7-9b5c-0c1b3d1b56ff:8424Cheryl Lavrinc<p>Eating and drinking not allowed on Metro? Perhaps Metro should tell their drivers. Also would be nice if Metro enforced their ban on drivers using their cell phones while driving. I had one on the 65 texting as we went down Bissonett</p> <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.ridemetro.org/> http://blogs.ridemetro.org/blogs/write_on/archive/2009/09/09/Stinking-Riders_3F00_-They_2700_re-Still-Allowed-On_2D00_board.aspx#8445Thu, 17 Sep 2009 07:16:40 GMTd28ebc89-27af-41e7-9b5c-0c1b3d1b56ff:8445HoustonHater<p>@Cheryl Lavrinc</p> <p>This isn't Amtrak, Let those drivers do what they want.
