For the last 115 years, the New York City subway system – the largest in the nation – has been in service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. That streak came to an end Wednesday morning when the city shut down the system to thoroughly clean and sterilize the cars. The goal is to help prevent the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus. After all, the Big Apple is America's epicenter of the virus.
Although the subway system was curtailed in March, it is now being halted early each morning from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m.
Probably should clean them more frequently than once every 115 years. https://t.co/KXMal2McAm

It took a pandemic to clean the NYC subway. We were doomed from the start. https://t.co/SusrUtpY7Z
