    I've only seen them doing this once, but the station was open during it. We all waited on the steps and got on the train at an area they weren't working. As many times as I've been on the subway during the middle of the night, I'm surprised I haven't seen them more. They do a good job tho.

    Good start but to clean a system this large the efforts have to be doubled in addition all stations should be power cleaned an average of not 35 days but every 15. This is the only way to keep on top of keeping the system clean. Every time a train enters the end of its trip it should have mta cleaning workers to spot inspect and spot clean the cars. It takes a concentrated effort but it will yield benefits, cleaner system reductions of the vermin and a healthier mta system.... just my one cent. Ps. Just too add a half of cent trains are cleaned when they reach there terminals but with more workers it would certainly yield cleaner trains.
