Austrian city imposes tracksuit ban for cabbies

Cabs in the Austrian city of Salzburg just got classier: Drivers can no longer wear tracksuits. The new regulation took effect earlier this month in an attempt to improve the image of cabbies in a place known for its upmarket clientele. Also new is a smoking restriction — for both cabbies and customers. Peter Tutschku, a local taxi functionary, said Tuesday passengers have told drivers that cabs have to smell good. Offenders could face fines.
