New York City subways are crusty

GOPUSA: Please stand clear of the pool of vomit.

But they’re not the only ones. Train crews have plenty of stories about dealing with such messes without hazmat suits, goggles or gloves and their fear of being exposed to bodily waste that’s infectious.

And then there’s the cleanup, in which many soiled cars are tidied up at the last stop on a line to avoid service interruptions instead of being sent to a yard to be disinfected.

When service resumes, passengers are unaware that they are riding in a car that was soiled by human waste or blood and barely cleaned.

Train operator Benjamin Valdes recalls the time he had to deal with vomit spewed around a car of his N train.

The train wasn’t taken out of service for cleaning, Valdes told The News. Instead, he was instructed to isolate the car. “I just had to tiptoe around it,” he said. “It’s disgusting. You don’t know what’s in it.”

“They didn’t want to send it to the yard,” Valdes said. “They wanted to use it for service.”  more here

  2. I’m not sure “crusty” is the right word, but, mostly, I don’t wish to think about it more.

    PS: Off topic, Fur, but I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sick of “Increase you brain power” and “All Out Kings” popping up in separate browser windows ten times a day, delivered from the IOTW site. If I wasn’t interested in either those sites three months ago, why do they think I’ll become enchanted, now? I am guessing they pay you lots of money for the “right” to annoy me like this, but there should be a better way.
