Subway stations

A counter intuitive pilot program aimed at reducing garbage in subway stations by removing trash cans appears, against all logic, to be working.

"The whole trip took 9 hours almost to the minute, and was quite a challenge, as we had to hop off the train, find a sign, take a photo, and get back on the train before the doors closed."

Some subway stations are getting so packed, the MTA may one day begin intermittently shutting down entrances.

"The MTA should toss out this plan and put the garbage cans back," quips City Council member Jessica Lappin.

The MTA's experiment, in which it removes trash cans from stations to reduce station litter, is going to expand to a few more stations this summer.
