MBTA Stations and Cars Shine Brighter

Keolis Commuter Services announced on Thursday that it has completed the cleaning of all commuter rail passenger cars operating from Boston’s North Station, and that all passenger cars operating out of South Station should be cleaned in the coming weeks.

Keolis began operating the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority’s 14 commuter rail lines July 1 with a pledge to increase on-time performance and improve safety, cleanliness and customer service.

According to a press release, the train-cleaning program has involved more than 100 people working over 8,000 hours scrubbing over 1 million square feet of equipment as Keolis aims to clean all 422 commuter rail passenger cars. Seats have been thoroughly wiped down, the stainless steel doors and windows shined, vents cleared of grime, and floor thoroughly mopped.
