Brooklyn Unveils ‘Mobile Shower Service’ Bus to Offer Free Showers for NYC Homeless.

The New York City borough of Brooklyn unveiled its plan to provide free showers for the homeless through a mobile shower service bus.

CBS New York reports that the proposed shower bus would travel to food pantries, highway underpasses, parks, and other places where homeless regularly gather.

The plan is currently in the design phase and is modeled after a retrofitted bus in San Francisco that contains two shower stalls, sinks, toilets, and benches.

The shower bus would also be outfitted with free soap, shampoo, shaving kits, and clean underwear and socks.  read more

  1. President Lazlo’s mobile shower vehicle: The Hobo 9000, will hunt down the unwashed and lave them with a high pressure soapy spray followed with a refreshing deodorant rinse. An optional third parasite deterrent spray can be added as needed.
    Lastly, a high volume hot air dryer returns them and their clothes to fluffy dry perfection before seeking out the next hygienically challenged Hobo.

  2. A rough old general has heard about a unit with the reputation of being filled with the toughest soldiers around and decides he needs to go and check them out.

    After reviewing the troops on parade he decides to go to the medical tent to meet the soldiers who weren’t at parade.

    The general gets to the first soldier and barks at him “Why are you here?”

    “Hemorrhoid’s Sir!”

    “And how are you treating it?”

    “Wire brush and disinfectant Sir!”

    “And what’s your goal in life soldier?”

    “To kill the enemy Sir!”

    The general is pleased with this answer and moves onto the next soldier. “Why are you here?”

    “Genital warts Sir!”

    “And how are you treating it?”

    “Wire brush and disinfectant Sir!”

    “And what’s your goal in life soldier?”

    “To kill the enemy Sir!”

    Once again the general is pleased and moves on to the last soldier. “And why are you here?”

    “Gingivitis Sir!”

    “And how are you treating it?”

    “Wire brush and disinfectant Sir!”

    “And what’s your goal in life soldier?”

    “To get the wire brush before the other two Sir!”

  3. A non-profit of some sort runs a shower truck in St Louis downtown, I see them regularly at the St Patrick Center at Tucker & Convention (Delmar), they also do haircuts. As it’s a non-profit, I’m sure that it’s 100% tapayer funded.

  4. I’m thinking this will go about as well as Seattle’s putting $1MM per enviro toilets around downtown. The pimps and hookers took ‘um over because the bums would rather shit on the sidewalk.

  5. Hmm. This free shower idea rings a memory bell. Hasn’t this been done before? Somewhere in Europe, maybe? About 75 years ago? If they’re going to pipe the bus exhaust into the shower nozzles they’re going to need one of those new robotic pizza oven trucks, too.
