Does anyone if we are still allowed to eat on the metro? a lot of new rules, so what to make sure we can still eat?

Eating has never been allowed on the metro.

WTF? No, do not eat on the metro. Jeebus. People like you are why we can’t have nice things.

How about on the platforms?

Still eat? You have never been allowed to eat or drink on the metro. Did that change in the past few years because they used to give you tickets for that.

No. Once you enter the station, no eating.

The enforcement of your compliance with the rules on metro is directly correlated to your gender, age, and race. If you’re a black male teen, metro is a free for all. As much anarchy as you want.

I was in a huge rush this morning and drank my Starbucks on the platform. Nobody yelled at me and I didn't leave trash behind. I think the station workers are meh about enforcing the rule.

Oh please. PP here who just drank coffee on the platform. I'm an old white lady.

It's never been legal.

Before 2019 it was citable but rarely cited in practice. Since 2019, enforcement officially ceased.
I don't know of any recent changed.

Strange, virulently racist statement. Why are you such a disgusting person? Were you raised wrong or dropped on your head as a baby or what?

That has nothing to do whether it is allowed or not. If I stole candy from CVS and no one said anything, does that mean it is fine?

OP asked about "new rules," so talking about rule enforcement seemed helpful. Do unclench, dear.

I ran across a bunch of chicken bones scattered on the floor from someone's lunch. Slobs.
