Aspen's "Vomit Comet" buses will have cops

Aspen Colorado partygoers, beware. Transportation officials have voted to hire a security firm to patrol the bus station and late-night buses on Fridays and Saturdays that commonly have to take drunken passengers home from Aspen. The bus service on those nights has been inauspiciously dubbed the "Vomit Comet."

"Due to people being pretty intoxicated, things can get out of hand every once in a while," said Roaring Fork Transportation Authority CEO Dan Blankenship. The transit authority must spend about $21,000 per year to deal with unruly drunks on buses, the transportation authority concluded Thursday.

Hiring guards should allow drivers and supervisors to concentrate on moving people instead of coping with "these crazies on the bus," said Kent Blackmer, the authority's co-director of operations.

The agency has been dealing with an increasing number of people unable to walk, fighting and hassling other passengers or just plain passed out, Blackmer said.

"I've been on the Vomit Comet before, and most of them aren't true criminals," he said. "They're just drunk."
