I'm kinda germaphobic, and they never seem to clean public transit. Chewed gum everywhere, littering, bodily fluids. Like I'm sure 99% of people are normal, but just 1% of dumbasses ruin it. NYC, Philly, I've seen it all. I heard people say other countries such as Japan has clean public transit, not sure why the US can't do the same... ๐Ÿค” (I bet the politicians stole all the funding)

My ideal transport would be getting launched out of a cannon, then I deploy a parachute after the GPS notifies me when I've arrived at the destination. Patachute deployed, I land on the roof, like a boss. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Great for introverts too. ๐Ÿซ 

(So until public transit is fixed, I rather be fired... out of a cannon)

Other countries actually clean, sanitize, and maintain their public transit including trains and metro. They do this by shutting it down for a few hours in the early morning/ late night

NYC is the only one in the US I'm aware of that goes 24/7. I know the Philly one doesn't.

Are they maintained or just shut down for a few hours?

[-] angstylittlecatboy@reddthat.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

Well it'd be disrespectful to a friend of my mom's to say they don't...but also, it's probably dirtier than the NYC one tbh. My point is that it's not the root cause.

[-] MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah the root cause is they dont maintain or clean them at all

Cleanliness depends a lot on culture

Odds are they are American and if you haven't noticed our culture is pretty hell bent on rejecting civic duty
