    I think you have to weigh the probabilities.

    Are vomit cabs really so frequent that we need a human present at all times just to avoid a single failed pickup?

    Providing X free rides after an incident is likely more economical than a full time human vomit detector.

      Yes, yes they are. If you aren’t familiar with the industry ask a cabbie who has worked in an entertainment area of a major city at night how many times they’ve cleaned up vomit, urine, feces, blood, or any other bodily fluids.
