Yes, they are clearly washed. A train not washed for 10 years would have looked differently.

Take a trip to the U.S, then you'll see what dirty trains really look like.

Examples of excellent places to see dirty trains include Boston, New York City, Cleveland, Chicago, and Atlanta.

This is hilarious. And sadly true.

But someone cleans the interior of new York trains at theend of the line before they get sent off again. I prefer that then getting on the ttc at 3 pm with metro newspapers laying all over the place from the morning

The TTC cleans trains as well at the ends of the lines. There's usually a crew at Kennedy that we see when we come home after visiting family in Scarborough.

I used to take the train daily to Downsview and rarely saw anyone cleaning the interiors. I have not taken the TTC daily in the last 5 years though.

It's a much more recent thing - perhaps in the last 2 or 3 or 4 years that they've been doing it.
I stopped commuting to Vaughan about 5 years ago, and they had only started cleaning the trains at Finch Station - but not yet at any of the other terminals.

They started in March 2012 at both Kennedy and Finch.
It was an early initiative by Byford, along with the novel idea of cleaning the bathrooms regularly!

It's going to be interesting to keep an eye on many of these metrics, because things will most likely get only worse under Leary. Byford went out of his way to ensure customer service was at the forefront of the TTCs mandate no matter how piss pour service could have been in certain sections of the system. Leary on the other hand has shown that he really doesn't care much about it.

I just want a window cleaner and a person with a mop and duster at Old Mill Station. Even with the increased scrutiny when I travel through one of the gems of a station every day I shudder at how dirty the windows are. I actually have never seen them clean!

Actually saw Byford and Leary at the Rebel House last week, I'm pretty sure it's Leary's local. Incidentally his email is: richard.leary@ttc.ca
I've had issues dealt with within 48 hours after emailing him. He *must* be kept on his toes as Byford was very proactive.
