NYPIRG's Straphangers Campaign: Take L Train, it's the cleanest

Our colleagues from NYPIRG's Straphangers Campaign, led by Gene Russianoff, have released their latest Subway Shmutz report ranking the cleanliness of New York City subway lines. Stay off the E and the Q. From the New York Times story A Survey of the Cleanest, and Dirtiest, Subway Trains in New York City by William Neuman:

Wet, sticky spots on the train floor, chicken bones, nut shells, spilled coffee, hot dogs and "lots and lots of rolling bottles" often greet subway passengers who travel on the E and the Q trains -- rated the dirtiest lines in the New York City subway system in the latest survey by a rider advocacy group.
