Why do public trains smell like pee?

Question

is it all trains/subways that smell this way?

Answer 1

No not all trains/subways smell like pee; in fact, very few do. However, some may give off an odor of the sort due to the fact that some people choose to pee in the subway. This can be an act of rebellion, or simply boredness, but its disgusting, so limit your stay to as few stops as possible.

Answer 2

I know that on The Electric Sewer (the NYC subway), they fine you 50$ for spitting on the floor. However, you can throw up for free.

Answer 3

There supposed to be cleaned every night. Must be a big city that goes all night. Workers don't really care about what conditions they work in. I wouldn't put up with that if i worked for the place.

Answer 4

Because there are unclean people riding them and I don't think the trains are cleaned often. Take some spray Lysol with you and spray it around it will smell better and you will kill germs too.

Answer 5

Because people pee on them. Seriously.

Answer 6

Because it is public and there is hardly anytime to clean them since they are always in constant motion

Answer 7

it was probably from all the pespiration or what they step on .. stepping in and out.. maybe from the food as well... lol and no one could care less to clean it . :)

Answer 8

Some drunken people pee anywhere they can.

Answer 9

Answer 10
