Hope the disinfectant doesn’t carry side effects
They should have been cleaning the trains and the stations, but this is good.
This is great news for NYC! Wonder if this cleaning/disinfecting effort will happen to the subway stations too NYCMayor NYGovCuomo ?
NYC should have had the normal practice to disinfect every subway train every 24 hours. It is common logic to prevent diseases. You should not need a pandemic to figure that out.
Why weren't they doing this before?
