I'll be honest I haven't, but I do see stations like the Flushing Main St escalators brand new at the time they were built, but in less than a year, dust and grime started to coat the nice walls. Now, it's just a thick black layer of dust that nobody else bothers to clean.

On the flip side, I look at places like Japan, there are cleaning crew running around 24/7 cleaning the stations, wiping the escalator handles, stairs, etc. And everywhere is so nice and clean.

Tokyo trains close at midnight or 1am. So they can clean do maintenance. If we did that. We would need an a army of nightbuses to handle instead…actually

Right, but I'm referring to stations. Don't need to shut down the station for it to be cleaned.
