I am always grossed out when I see people on the train open up a bag that holds a large styrofoam container of takeout food and start eating it right next to or in front of other passengers. I think it's disgusting behavior. The same goes for any kind of snack that is likely to fall on the floor or create crumbs, like Doritos or other chips.
If someone wants to eat a nutrition bar or a candy bar, I have no problem with that as long as it's done unobtrusively, doesn't have parts that can fall on the ground like chips would, and they put the packaging in their bag to throw away later.
Yesterday when I was waiting to get on the train, first I waited a few seconds while passengers got off. The woman who was behind me apparently didn't like that I was allowing passengers off, and she pushed me to get in front of me with her huge shopping cart. So I was already annoyed. Then I sit down and another woman who just got on spreads across two full seats with all her crap. She proceeds to start taking out one of these takeout containers and a fork. I felt so physically disgusted by the behavior (the pushing, the eating entire meals on the train) that I had to move further into the car so I didn't have to look at them.
NY transit is kind of disgusting and it's mostly passengers to blame.

For someone who is so *brave* on this board, didn't have the cojones or whatever to say anything to either of them?
Refer to the thread here on Deblasio's $32 mil war on rats. Many NYer are a bunch of animals. It's sad but true
Trash can out of the subway was a pilot program I believe. I think they retreated from that
Yes, they ended the program a few months ago. But that doesn't absolve them of having such a completely idiotic notion in the first place. Who, in their right mind, would think that removing trash cans in places that tens of thousands of people frequent every day would ever result in less trash in these stations? Of course, I'm sure there's some academic study that said so.
Which is why there's no substitute for common sense.
Yes they do. I've seen them over the year's and the garbage trains, too. I know I wasn't hallucinating a vacuum train.
Lhota needs to ride the subway he oversees. He can't run it effectively without knowing what really goes on down there. He needs to ride the trains, walk the tracks and get to know all the problems we deal with every day.
