The atomizing sprayers also serve to humidify and deodorize the vehicles. Taxis are confined spaces used by the general public. Given this and the fact that \u201cmorning riders are predominantly senior citizens going to the hospital\u201d, the company began a trial run with three taxis last November and December. The service was a hit with patrons, and the drivers claim they have built up their resistance to colds. In late January, the company installed the sprayers in all of its 38 taxis. Attached to the dashboard, the sprayers emit a mixture of steam and disinfectant mist once every three minutes. \u201cThey have become conversations pieces and promote the clean image of our taxis,\u201d said one driver. Kiyohiro Yano, president of Yano Taxi, said he will continue providing customers with a safe and healthy taxi-riding experience.
