I was using "public urination" more as a representative vice of general public dysfunction. (Graffiti, littering, intentional chipping at walls, gum, etc. etc.)

I've seen them fully renovate these stations in bad neighborhoods before, they're always pretty terrible within a few weeks. Same thing when they repaint a building, graffiti's there days later. Urban decay with a morally dysfunctional populace is like crabgrass.
-
full renovation w/o subsequent regular upkeep is a tremendous waste of money; they don't stay clean by magic
-
Yeah, but when you're talking about having to substantially repaint every station on a nearly daily basis it starts to look impractical. I don't think Hong Kong or Tokyo or any other presentable metro I've ever seen has to deal with that. Maybe Moscow, I'll have to look into that
-
are these stations unmanned or what, how hard is it to catch someone graffitiing
-
Generally unmanned, yeah, also even the areas between stations are covered in it, people walk the tracks at night I guess
-
Best example I can give are ads (like movie posters). Those are replaced fairly regularly for obvious reasons and are still usually covered in graffiti, or at least damaged from people picking at them.
