MTA paint chips

So, when does maintenance actually become a part of the plan? Instead of throwing all the money into updating the busiest stations, why not spread the money out and maintain the full system? You know, keeping all the stations looking presentable for your everyday riders. The riders that pay day after day, week after week, month after month, and year after year. Everybody knows the system is old. Embrace it and keep it clean and running. Who cares if you throw millions into updating stations, if you don't maintain them? It's just going to be a filthy updated station. Here's an idea, how about MAINTAINING the stations?!? And, I don't mean emptying the trash and sweeping up. How about a scheduled yearly process? Cleaning walls one month, repainting another, cleaning the tracks the next, and so on. If you look at my earlier post, YOU KNOW that those walls have not been cleaned in decades. WHY IS THAT?!?! I, for one, would rather have a clean and well maintained older structure than a FILTHY newer structure. And, maybe, if the stations were maintained properly, it wouldn't require millions of dollars of updates. And, I'm not even talking about cleaning up graffiti or trash. How about just not having lead paint chips flake of the ceilings and walls?
