tamasrepus Posted July 19, 2009 Share #1 Posted July 19, 2009 Shots of a parked Grand-Central-Times Square . I originally saw this 3 wks ago during a commute, but didn't have a camera on me at the time. The train's out of service so unfortunately I couldn't get any good shots of the train's interior. The full-body advertisement is for a new TNT television show, Dark Blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Julio Posted July 19, 2009 Share #2 Posted July 19, 2009 I really like how they've been doing these wrap-ads on the Times Square Shuttle. They are very tastefully done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If buses can have ADs on the sides, why can't trains? I'm all for this especially if brings costs to the commuters down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am afraid he's talking about wrapping an entire car with ads. That has never been done on buses, AFAIK, not to an extent where every millimetre of space on the bus front, back and inside is wrapped with ads.

But it's done deliberately to indicate that it is non-revenue and is for vending purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

engineerboy6561 Posted July 22, 2009 Share #15 Posted July 22, 2009 I think it would spce up some of the older cars if it was done with as much taste as on the shuttle. As mark1447 pointed out, the one caveat is that graffiti may be harder to clean off with the new coatings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also protects the metal since it's not being painted on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princelex Posted August 6, 2009 Share #20 Posted August 6, 2009 They should really expand this to other lines. I agree 100%. They would make the subways look that more colorful. I'm down with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
