Potholes impact Birmingham drivers in a negative way everyday, especially taxi cab drivers who make a living off driving everyday for work purposes.
Taxi cab driver, Tuessan Hussain, says he “spends a lot of money on his suspension every month and he would like for the pothole problem to be fixed.”
Fortunately for Hussain, the City Council is taking steps to try to improve this major problem of potholes that are located all across the City of Birmingham.
The City Council responds by asking for commuters to report any potholes they may see on the road by filing a report on the City Council website of where these potholes are located. Once reported, someone will be sent to fill and fix the pothole.
