(1010 WINS) NEW YORK The Long Island Rail Road says it's heard the message from commuters and it will hire more train cleaners. The railroad had cut its cleaning budget by more than 625-thousand dollars this year, and the cut has not gone unnoticed by passengers.
Most of the positions eliminated were the cleaners who was go through the trains between trips and clean up litter, coffee cups, newspapers and other litter left by the previous passengers.
The railroad had 450 cleaners in 2002 and just 400 cleaners this year.
Passengers complained that fares went up an average of 30 percent in the last three years, yet they had trouble finding a clean place to sit.
