New Study Says The F Train Has Gotten Dirtier Since 2011

Smeg. The NYPIRG’s Straphangers Campaign released the findings of their most recent “subway shmutz” survey, and it appears that the F train is getting a little gross.

Back in 2011, the group found that 69% of the F train’s cars were clean. In 2013, though, only 37% were observed to be clean. This puts the F alongside eight other lines that experienced “significant deterioration” between the two studies.

The G line dropped slightly from 54% to 52%, while the R remained solid at a grimy 36%.

The good news? The F and the R are not the worst of the bunch. That crown belongs to the D train, who rolled away with a score of 17%. Hand sanitizer, anyone?

How clean would you say the F, G, and R trains are? Do you agree with the findings?
