A sidebar in the print version of the article says the T isn't installing hand sanitizer dispensers, because they wouldn't be able to maintain them.

They got that right. One appeared in a T station bathroom a few weeks ago, but it was no longer working after about 2 days.

They can't maintain the trains

But a hand sanitizer isn't as complicated. I say let them have a try at it!

According to Dr. Philip M. Tierno Jr., author of a book on germs and director of clinical microbiology at NYU, 80 percent of germs are transmitted by direct or indirect contact.

The other 20% is by magic?

The t-cops have the best way of dealing with germs first they mace them, then they stomp them into oblivion
