Couldn't agree more. Hit the road Jack and don't come back no more no more no more! Hit the road Jack and don't come back no more.

There is one organization that I know of which turns old buses into mobile hygiene stations for the homeless:

they operate out of LA and San Francisco though, we could definitely use their services in NYC!

I was going to venture that a large part of the routes run through Italian and Chinese nabes, and Italians and Chinese aren't the type to give to bums, generally, which would discourage the bums' "frequent rider miles" on these lines...!

Only Italian nabe is the last few stops of the R, correct?

Yes, though they're often heavily Chinese now, IIRC.

There were 1,800 homeless people living in subways in 2016.

This is a FACT*

That's because that idiot De Blasio is our Mayor.

I don't think there are many, if any, heavily Italian neighborhoods left with subway service

Okay, not "heavily"...you're right about that -- I just still see actual Italian businesses around such as meat stores and bakeries staffed by actual Italian-Americans so it still feels fairly "Italian" for all the Chinese about!

Nice! I’ll reach out to them, thanks!
