New York City's subway trains will stop overnight for disinfecting, governor says

Starting May 6, the trains will stop for the cleaning from 1 a.m.-5 a.m. each day, according to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.As for essential workers who rely on the subway to get to their jobs during that window, officials say they'll have a new, free alternative.

The four-hour subway closure"will enable us to more aggressively and efficiently disinfect and clean our trains ... than we have ever done before," MTA Chairman Pat Foye said.Daily disinfections are"a task that no one has ever imagined before ... but that is the right thing to do," Cuomo said. The cleanings will happen"wherever hands could touch" and"wherever droplets could land," the governor said.

Now they figure this out.

Well, how surprising!

I'm surprised they've been running.

That should always be the case !!!!

About time....

How many months now? And these idiots are just now doing something? Their lack of attention is a huge reason for the spread. Diblasio and Cuomo have blood on their hands

sadiqkhan when are we going to disinfect the tube or public transport in general?

Hire the train writers.... you know who you are! :)

Now, do Pence and Trump. Disgusting

Alittle late for that.

This is a NEW thing? Seriously? Cuomo is clueless then.

Better late than never I guess.

After infecting and killing thousands with coronavirus NY decided it might be a good idea to disinfect the subway LiberalLogic

Why only during the pandemic, this should be standard all year round.

It makes no sense if homeless are still living there. Take them out first. Provide hosing for them. Then clean the trains.

Why didn't Fredo's brother decide to do this two months ago before New York lead all states (BY A MILE) in deaths? Why is this guy still in office?

Essential companies across the US have adopted extreme measures to follow CDC guidelines and keep employees safe, and these clowns finally decide to clean the subways?

It's bit late..but good job

Where will the homeless go?

Good that makes sense

Thank you Governor Cuomo. Common sense reigns in New York. ❤️

Cnn china news nincompoops Where will the homeless go?

Awesome! It needs to stay that way and every state needs to do that for buses and all public transportation

Strange that CNN didn’t blast Cuomo for acting too late on this......

Cuomo & de Blasio are doing an incredible job killing as many ppl as possible. First cleaning after 20k dead.

Nothing to disinfect. NYC installing 5G.
