Too many New Yorkers are totally irresponsible about throwing trash, spilling beverages, etc. I agree that ticketing for these infractions is the way to go. Maybe with that revenue we could actually get that G line extension I keep hearing so much about.

It's just the culture of New York. We litter on the subway and then complain about no one running after them with a broom to clean it up. There isn't much of a way to win this. Heck, even if we do start ticketing people for littering, a good chunk of people will probably laugh at the $25 fine and toss it on the ground.

Passengers... stop throwing your trash on the floor please. Many trains I'm on are clean in the beginning and by the end of the trip, whole cars will be trashed up... especially on the J, D and 3 lines. LMAO
