In spite of the fact that cleaning of subway cars and platforms have expanded during the pandemic, travelers actually feel there are waiting issues.

What’s more, the issues aren’t simply waste, however dirty seats and platforms.

“It’s like someone peed on the seat,” rider Ashley Rodriguez said.

It’s constantly been contrary to the standards to defecate in subway cars, but the transit board is presently codifying those guidelines.

However, with those standards come others, including hour and a half cutoff points on sitting, resting or using wheeled carts bigger than 30 inches that doesn’t make a difference to baby strollers. These principles criminalize the homeless, as per advocates.

“I think the biggest issue is it’s a distraction and taking energy and effort away from solutions that could work,” said Áine Duggan, of Partnership for the Homeless.

Things like outreach, mental health assistance and supportive housing are for the most part potential arrangements.

As far as it matters for its, the MTA says this is about the strength of riders and laborers.

“The rules are targeted at minimizing health risks to customers and employees every customer in the system,” MTA chairman Pat Foye said.

A few clients feel empathetic to the homeless.

“A lot of people are falling on hard times, especially with the pandemic and losing jobs,” one passenger said. “I think we need to find alternative solutions to help those people instead of penalizing them.”
