| On Track? Ensuring Clean Subway Stations Citywide |
While subway fares have increased in recent years, New Yorkers have witnessed a decline in service and maintenance in subway system. An investigation by the New York City Council Committee on Oversight and Investigations finds that most subway stations surveyed were rated as dirty, and stations in the poorest neighborhoods were the dirtiest. If left to accumulate, minor dirt can lead to major problems later, increasing the cost of repairs, the risk of rider injury and even crime.
