Passengers and their sense of responsibility are to be blamed instead. If only there was some way for a cleaning crew to quickly sweep up the trash and pick out the wrappers stuffed in between seats at the end of each route (do they already? or only at end of each night) that would help the situation.bartmusingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16327844700926513435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17347513.post-51534405697385445292007-03-09T15:37:00.000-08:002007-03-09T15:37:00.000-08:00I find station cleanliness is really dependent on ...I find station cleanliness is really dependent on the stations you frequent. I go between Walnut Creek and Embarcadero and rarely find the stations overly dirty. In contrast, the Civic Center station is the worst I've ever seen of any BART station....<BR/><BR/>For the trains I think there's some real challenges there. When should they clean them? At the end-points? During heavy commute times the trains arrive at the end-points and turn right around. No time for cleaning.... The example you mention that really strikes me is the cough drop. Gross to be sure, but what, really can BART do about this? You mentioned that it was still wet, so it was unlikely to have been there very long. I think it's unlikely that a cleaning crew would roam the trains cleaning them along the route...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17347513.post-41523224668605333272007-03-08T21:05:00.000-08:002007-03-08T21:05:00.000-08:00I find it quite odd there are vast differences in ...I find it quite odd there are vast differences in the cleanliness of trains depending on what the train's home yard is. For example, I think Richmond trains (distinguished by the first car having a sloped nose) are usually the cleanest.<BR/><BR/>Some folks have pointed out this could be due to the shorter routes they serve, and that's a good point, but the difference is still quite pronounced. Why can't all the cars be that clean?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
