That's a bit elitist, isn't it? We could also ban vagrants from being inside the city limits at night. Out of sight, out of mind. More seriously though, take

We could also ban vagrants from being inside the city limits at night. Out of sight, out of mind.
More seriously though, take an Uber (or UberPool) if you want clean, sober public transport.
- winrid 7y agoSorry that's just not an acceptable answer. Telling everyone to add to traffic in the city just to be in a clean environment is stupid. I spent two weeks in Beijing. They actually kicked the homeless out of the city and there are constant reminders to keep the subways clean. It was really nice.
- iudqnolq 7y agoThis is not actually true. Beijing has a massive underclass of people living illegally because they don't have internal passports that allow them to live in a city. This let's the city have the benefit of their labor while being able to crack down harshly and jail/deport whenever. They also don't provide any social services for these people (trash pickup, school, medical). So that's why many people who you might otherwise have seen were staying out of sight in the rich areas. If you want to read more, the Chinese system of inherited internal passports is called hukou.
- winrid 7y agoThanks for the info. Maybe the explanation was dumbed down for a foreigner.
