Electronic ad boards

I'm not sure what I think about this. Although I think it looks cool, is this a wise use of money, and how durable do you think this would be? I can see such a thing becoming so busted after a Friday/Saturday night vomit comet. Let's pretend people behave themselves on trains, though... I think this would be a cool idea, and perhaps produce more revenue in the long run.

 

But point being: The subway's gentle fare hike didn't really affect me, but the LIRR's fare hike kind of ticked me off. Is something like this really necessary?

This is what needs on all of their vehicles. Nice video quality. Vandals will get to it.

So I see where our fares are going to... to redundant electronic ad boards. How nice of the MTA.

It's rather bright...I suppose it's designed to be that way. Eye catching...

I think it would be cool so long as they present the route info (like the weather and such) in between ads. Vandals hitting something like this would be the main issue, though. I don't know how the LIRR dispatches trains, but they'd be better off NOT running these in the wee hours of the morning. We all know how.. uhm... unruly people can get.

 

I really wish that the M-3 would rule the night and weekend, they'd be so hot with a little overhaul. Just saw one pass by as I was walking back from the deli, I just love the way they sound. A quiet hum rather than the thin whine of a M7. Brakes sound cool, too.

It's not a waste of money if the advertisers pay more, and obviously the MTA wouldn't install them unless they thought they could make more money from it.

i love it...and vandals dont really hit up the LIRR like that, so they'd definately last
