Sorry, I'm bumping up against Poe's Law with this comment so I think I'm misunderstanding your point.
I don't own a subway, it's not my organisation. I was just using my imagination to put myself in the shoes of others to understand their decisions.
Now then: You're literally stating that having homeless people in a space causes social harm, and that making a place less hospitable for the homeless, even if it improves that place for its main function, is also a societal bad. Let's accept that for the sake of argument. Why are the homeless camping in the subway? Doesn't that mean they've already passed down from further up this displacement chain and the subway is also a victim of the same thing?
The subway and the homeless are both just dealing with their situations in the best ways they can. Asking the subway to house the homeless in their corridors is about as helpful as just telling those homeless people to stop being homeless.

So all passengers in any vehicle can't use their phones? That'll be wildly unpopular.

No, I was being a bit facetious in my response to the comment that the solution is housing the homeless, not making things less hospitable. It's of course not within the Subway's powers to actually solve homelessness so giving them flack for picking the less worse option with their limited options instead of magically solving the root of the problem is silly.
Get mad at the people who are actually responsible for dealing with the root cause, not the ones needing to make tough choices dealing with the reality of it.

I agree with you almost completely. The issue is if the homeless prevents the space from being suitable for disabled people or other commuters, then this is the "less worse" option from the subway's perspective. The subway is focused on creating a safe and clean commuter environment; it's not within their power to solve homelessness so they have little choice but to make everything a bit worse for everyone to stop the problem they're dealing with from making it even worse yet for everyone.

True, but we're at the time of year when there's way more daylight than night, so it's a war of attrition with the hot day winning no matter what you do.

Two nuns are riding their bikes back to the convent.
One nun says to the other, “I don’t think I’ve ever come this way before.”
And the other one says, “It's the cobblestones.”
