What is rude is that people leave their litter by the seats and poor train cleaners have to pick up the trash and throw it. It takes blood, sweat, tears, and energy just to clean a single window.

I appreciate these guys so much! I wish our transit agency put as much effort into cleaning as these guys do

Saw how they clean at 34-Street Hudson, they are very thorough unlike expectations, sad that they sometimes get so dirty (though in a very low minority)

I applied for this position with the MTA and went in for an interview last month. I hope I get it!

Metrolinx, formerly known as GO Transit, needs to see videos like this one. Their trains need a lot of work. Not the worst I've ever seen, but not what they once were.

this job is so Wow i appreciate their hard work

I wish the windows would be cleaned more so. Many times you can barely see outside of them. Always this cloudy or milky look to them which takes away for those who like to glance outside as they go about their trip.

How do we get to apply to this type of job and do you need experience to join in?

[hibiscushoney]

Glad and relieved to see this. How about the stations. Some of them are awful. Do they handle station waiting areas or is that separate crew?

Hi I am in the New York to and I ride MTA and are you getting a new train can you show the video

[elyzsabethahne]

Please, just curious--what is the starting salary/wage(s) like? Thank you very much.

I’m guessing they maintain the appearance of the cars

It's a shame that the NYC Subway cant have the same type of train cars with those soft plush seats the LIRR has. The seats would not last 1 day thanks to all of that diversity in the Subway.

Aka. Something that barely happens in 2024.

They do absolutely nothing can’t explain than any easier they get paid a great amount of money. Pension benefits. The salary you can make with the LIRR as a cleaner there is no point of even going to high school it’s also impossible to become a cleaner for the long island railway at least 9000 are in front of you to get that job.

I applied in 1975. It was called car cleaner. I could not get an application. I was not connected and I had too much education. They can keep the job. It is beneath me.

[mamboking]

Who are they foolin they clean one or 2 cars a day and play cards all day!

Perfect for the MTA LIRR maintainers to clean it every day after the conductors and people aka commuters get off the Long Island Rail Road but what about subway stations? Oh wait, they have clean maintainers doing that. 😀🧼🧽🧻🧹
