what an idiotic idea, how about cleaning the train station so there's no **** stains on the walls and maybe putting some air flow so passengers dont sweat to death in the summer time Waiting for a Train.
Or if this idea did work, then have the city pass out blue light wands to every New Yorker and we can all play a role in disinfecting everything we come across
It’s a huge waste of money, they don’t have. Takes one infected person to reinfect a sanitized surface if they don’t wear PPE. More important to enforce mask wearing. It’s also important to educate people about having PPE that are effective and practice hospital like sanitizing of your own outdoor clothing and shoes.

I'm pretty sure the reason why this is implemented is because it's quick and cheap. It doesn't mean that you can't do other things provided you have the funding for it nor does it mean that there aren't other needed improvements. It also probably isn't meant to sanitize surfaces given their implementation tucked in with the ventilation which makes it seem to squarely target airborne transmission which also happens to be the most common method of transmission as far as we know now.
If this works out, I hope this is just the standard. I mean, covid isn't the only thing that moves in the air.
The goal is to disinfect the AIR as it is being recirculated.
That nonsense about surface to hand to face is so old school. It was babbled from day one WITH NO SUPPORTING EVIDENCE.
THis virus is AIRBORNE so it is the subway's AIR that must be cleansed, not the seats and floors.
The ultraviolet is certainly worth trying in a few cars. I remember most men's rooms of long ago had ultraviolet hand dryers, so they cannot be TOO expensive. (Just a fluorescent tube with no phosphors... not unlike a tanning bed.)
Wont help with the stains left on the subways, especially on the weekends. The trains have been cleanest ever in recent times. Can we get a filter for the wackos who ride it?

Yea, it would be mental health services and involuntary commitment for those who are not of sound mind. Definitely in favor of that. Yea, it’ll be costly, but so is having the wackos out and about. I’d rather pay for them to not be out and about than pay for them to be out and about.

Nothing is quick and cheap with the MTA
and my UV blue light wand idea isn't too far fetched seeing as MTA is looking to do the same

So you're saying the MTA should save its' budget on disinfecting the seats and floors overnight?

Yes. No need for disinfecting with CLorox, Lysol, and Purell. Detergent and water to wash the floors should suffice to keep the cars clean. (Now if they could only catch the reprobate/s who are breaking the windows that would save the MTA PLENTY!)

Where do you get the idea that MTA is using Clorox, Lysol or Purell?
Just making things up I see..
What about the rest of the population, should they stop using Clorox, Lysol and Purell?
SARS-CoV-2 is an AIRBORNE disease, then masks you see commuters wearing DEFINITELY DO NOT WORK. Just letting you know that.
How did you arrive at this conclusion? You might have oversimplified something.
