I ride the NYC subways everyday & at all hours. What amazes me is the
'nonsense' that I see during the rush hours & during the day. The stuff that
people say or think happens only at night. IMO the main reason for the
'dirty' stations has to do with the amount of people using them moreso than
running all night (definetly a factor though). People of all demographics
take part in the littering etc.

The T gets pretty crowded at rush hour also. I'm mostly thinking of the
graffitti, though I supose some of that may be put on during the day. I
guess it's possible that Boston has somewhat better behaved people (1),
but I've been surprised at the contrast I've seen in pictures of the NYC
subway and the T.

(1) But note that Boston is the car theft capital of the world.
