Rejected petition Introduce wipeable seats on London Underground tubes & TFL buses

Introduce plastic/vinyl or wipeable material seats on London Underground tubes & also buses.

More details

TFL is very dirty & a way of improving hygiene in London is changing the material of the seats to vinyl/plastic so the seats can be easily cleaned by domestic staff & also commuters can wipe down the seats themselves if they choose to. The fabric seats are very, very dirty and spreads dirt/germs to commuters & clothing, causing/spreading illnesses. Poor hygiene also affects people with conditions such as OCD.
