Free newspapers are to disappear from Warsaw’s underground system after transport officials there decided to remove distribution racks for Polish Metro, which is published by Agora. The authorities say the racks pose a safety hazard, writes free newspaper expert Piet Bakker on on his blog, Newspaper Innovation.

It’s not the first complaint about free newspapers by underground officials. Free newspapers have have been blamed for huge volumes of additional waste in the London Underground and for causing flooding and track fires in New York’s Subway.
