NYC MTA bans pooping on the subways and buses

[Canada Goose]

That you’re not supposed to do this should go without saying — but MTA bosses believe they need a rule explicitly banning defecating on the subway.

The new rule is on the agenda for an MTA meeting Wednesday. The rule will ban defecating on the city’s subways, buses and transit facilities.

Transit rules previously mandated $100 fines for straphangers who "create a nuisance, hazard, or unsanitary condition (including, but not limited to, spitting or urinating).”

Creating an “unsanitary condition” surely includes pooping — but MTA officials think they have to be more specific.

Transit workers have for decades griped about destitute straphangers soiling train cars and buses with human waste.

On Sept. 7 a train operator was reportedly “soiled with bodily fluid from a customer" at the L line’s

Eighth Ave. terminal in Manhattan, according to an internal MTA incident report.

“The fact that the MTA has to pass a rule against defecating in a subway car says a lot about the environment we work in down there,” said Transport Workers Union Local 100 president Tony Utano. “We don’t ride for 20 minutes and go upstairs. We’re down there for entire shifts."

“A rule is nice,” Utano added. "A more visible police presence on platforms and trains would be nice

I can't believe that some people need a rule like this.

The older I get I swear I am wondering who raised some of these people. Like I can't believe this isn't common sense to some people.

Mapping San Francisco's Human Waste Challenge - 132,562 Cases Reported Since 2008

Today, San Francisco hosts an estimated homeless population of 7,500 people. Affluent sections of the city have become dangerous, with open-air drug use, tens of thousands of discarded needles, and, sadly, human feces.

Since 2011, there have been at least 118,352 reported instances of human fecal matter on city streets.

I mean the bathroom issue around the city is ridiculous.


Most stations don’t have a bathroom and the few who do, the bathroom is straight crazy.

Still not an excuse but like homie said up top, if you that unhinged to be doing it, a ban not going to stop them now
