How about a safety vault for the specimens?  The car would still travel on a public road right next to public transportation.

Perhaps the 'justification' needs to be reworded to - 'secure the specimens as quickly as possible, and public transportation would take 3 x longer than by private transportation increasing risk.'

Otherwise,

They could take a cab each time - and add on for that?

Or ' specimens will be transported a low traffic hours to ensure safety and no pblic transportation is available at that time'

my 2 cents........  quite an interesting topic.

We bought a truck for a project in S America and had the paperwork drawn up
before we shipped it that it would be donated to the local university at the
end of the project.  In the mean time, the univ agreed to insure the vehicle
and got it through customs in exchange for full use of it when we were not
in the field.  It worked out well.  That is, until the truck sank in the
river....

Seriously, be sure you know what happens to it.  We had a truck (a Toyota
from when quality apparently mattered) in Africa that was sold for cash at
the end of a project.  We credited the Feds for the money.  Good thing since
our auditors were draw to purchase like flies to ....  The first question
they asked was "What happened to the truck?" - Jim

Out of curiosity...what happens to the car when the project is finished?

I wanted some opinions before I proceed.  I have an NIH R01 application with
a
sub to a hospital in China.  They will be gathering TB specimens from
clinics
and transporting them to their lab.  In their budget, they included 15,000
for
an automobile because they don't want to carry active TB on public
transportation in China.  Any thoughts?
