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

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.

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?

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.

No. Once you enter the station, no eating.

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.
