"Not a single drop of urine or manure, at least from the cable cars themselves". Interesting statement.

Horse and cow manure don't actually stink that much compared to the very uncomfortable stench that predators and omnivores (including humans of course) leave behind.

Not to mention the fact that a filthy urban stench is nothing a good supply of perfume couldn’t fix.
