news MTA sees increase in garbage at subway stations, growing ridership could be the reason

[Via Garibaldi 8]

New Rochelle isn't spotless. I would know because I had to take the train there daily for about 2 years.

LOL... There are certainly exceptions to the rule. I could think of a few other stations on the New Haven Line that fit that profile.

The bourgeois never notice the trash in their natural habitats. Then the French Revolution happened...

[Fresh Pond]

So beside you don't see trash automatically means it's always clean?

Its easier for Metro North to keep there system tidy cause they don't as nearly much ridership as the subway, most of the routes every 30 mins to an hour off peak, even then still they problems with pests every now and then...

Also if anyone ever noticed, the part time stations in the Subway like Fulton and Broad on the are far cleaner than the average subway station. Part of the reason I was bummed that service will be extended there 24/7.

Not all part-time stations/lines/routes are clean. You should have seen how dirty the train was by the time I got on at Brighton Beach this afternoon at around 2:30 p.m. Hell, the station cleaners didn't even clean the train at all either. They only removed a bit of trash and left everything else the way it was --- dirty. Matter of fact, it don't really matter anyway. The city is always dirty. Why else do you think people are bitching about bedbugs and blah blah blah they see in the subway every now and then?

LOL! The and are two of the dirtiest, grimiest trains in the system, and not too many stations in Manhattan above 59th street look decent.  The Central Park West stations are DEPLORABLE.  Even 81st street is just tolerable though it looks cleaner and is certainly newer than the other stations.  I don't recall seeing any trash cans anywhere along the Central Park West stations though...

Is the losing money to hire garbagemen? Convince the government to have the NYC Sanitation program be in charge of the trash.

[LTA1992]

NYC has no say. Had NYC not created the TA as a way to not deal with the issues associated with running a subway, then that would be an option. You'd still have to hire the extra workers though.

I think this along with increased security cameras should reduce litter.

 

 

Yes, those stinky durians are clearly the problem.

Kamen Rider Bravo does not approve of that sign.

 

In all seriousness, if fines were that high, I wonder if people would even take them seriously?

[Brighton Express]

Put some fines on the garbage like the foreign countries and then people'll learn their stuff.

It is kinda bad above 59 St, I agree, but for me the dirtiest are definitely the Manhattan section of the . Not only is there trash everywhere, smells awful too.

Did you have to bring this up and fuel his not fire?

Speaking off trains, there are no garbages on LIRR like Great Neck, Hicksville, Westbury, Freeport and Hempstead, well as my neighborhood Junction Blvd and 90th St-Elmhurst train. Even Flushing and Jamaica Center Station are messy as well.

I never throw garbage on train, subway or bus because I'm clean freak.

Everytime when I eat my lunch or dinner on bus or train, I always clean my seat with clean napkins and put in my plastic bag, which I throw it at trash can or recycle bin depends where I'm heading. Especially on NICE Bus on my way to  my favorite Whole Foods.
