The R Train Has Become a Traveling Hotel for The Homeless

Would local pols @JustinBrannan & @agounardes feel safe with their wives or mothers on this train alone?

R Train Riders are finding that their morning train has a lot of homeless people using the train like a moving hotel. Not one politician has done anything about it when people complain.
Another video was shared here – it’s heartbreaking to see people are living like this on the train.
The people sleeping on this train need help. They don’t want to sleep on the train. They do so because they want somewhere warm to sleep and they don’t want to be robbed at NY City’s shelters.
When people from NYC ask these people if they want help, they say no because the help they are being offered isn’t better than sleeping on a train!
Apparently, some politicians didn’t want the homeless at their train station. Last February, when people asked what happened to the benches at certain stations, @NYCTSubway said “Benches were removed from stations to prevent the homeless from sleeping on them.”
If your family member was sleeping on a train in the early morning, you would want someone to help them.
