HONOLULU — Stinky city bus riders soon could get soaked. The Honolulu City Council is considering a bill that would impose up to a $500 fine and/or up to six months in jail for public transit passengers convicted of being too smelly.
The bill will be heard Thursday in committee. It would make it illegal to have "odors that unreasonably disturb others or interfere with their use of the transit system."
It doesn't matter if it's body odor or offensive fumes that emanates from clothes, personal belongings or animals.
Councilmen Rod Tam and Nestor Garcia co-sponsored the anti-odor bill.

I hope there is a “He Who Smelt It Dealt It” clause in there...
All I can say is I’m glad my 17 year old doesn’t live there. He’d be deep in debt! lol ;-)
Hey,Spam breath,yea,I mean you!
Why don’t they just pass out clothes pins to passengers as they board the bus?
Just what we need ... The B.O. Police !!!
Hey - that could be a new fall network TV series !!!
Who would it star ???
It would make it illegal to have “odors that unreasonably disturb others or interfere with their use of the transit system.”
Democrats disturb me all the time....
But then you would have to air it on smellovision and view it with an aromatic emitting accessory to go with the surround sound. Whats the cost of the surround smell full spectrum airborne particulate emitter?
Ha! I guess I can still fart on the bus then?....
how do you prove this in court?
This stinks. Instead of fines, they should just Ban them...
Tough to quantify.
France could pay off its national debt if they imposed such a fine.
Years ago the Spanish government used to run public service ads urging their citizens to use deodorant. One effective commercial showed a pretty young girl coming near a handsome guy on the bus and almost passing out from his BO.

Geeeeez....you really can find a picture of ANYTHING on the net, can’t you...
Instead of bus stops, have shower stops.
