Probably my favorite angle of this story is that the new cleaning tech was invented by a subsidiary of the railway company itself--it can plausibly be sold to other businesses that deal with vomit (bars, etc) to make even more money for the railway.

Two lessons for USA: - get serious about keeping facilities and vehicles clean; you can't expect passengers to do all the work for you - whatever your cleaning needs are, you're probably not the only one that has them--which means there's a market you can exploit

I feel like Americans are fundamentally incapable of this kind of cooperation. Japanese are top to bottom committed to safety/efficiency. I can only imagine Americans thinking individually in this context not collaboratively.
-
What is collaborative about prioritizing keeping your facilities clean? We manage it for most grocery stores, department stores, schools, municipal buildings, banks, airports, etc etc
-
Just basing assumption off observation of most public employees. We might see better results from private train companies such as Japan has. Not saying impossible, just doesn't seem to gel with American attitude
-
Right, I'm just saying even among public employees, there is more effort on cleanliness at other facilities (schools, municipal buildings, etc)
