Matt91 Posted June 28, 2010 Share #1 Posted June 28, 2010 All pics and info come courtesy of @NYCTSubwayScoop on twitter. The train is wrapped in an ad for the new target store. It's currently running on the , will run for 6 weeks and cost $250,000 (EDIT: Only a projection, is unsure of how much it will really bring in) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan Railer Posted June 28, 2010 Share #2 Posted June 28, 2010 hehe i hope more of these trains show up... they might look uncanny to some, but it's earning the MTA money, so i'm not complaining...:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rr4567 Posted June 28, 2010 Share #3 Posted June 28, 2010 They could have used a better looking advertisement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princelex Posted June 29, 2010 Share #6 Posted June 29, 2010 Finally, the is doing something that makes sense, even though this should have happened a couple of years ago before the cuts happened. They look great and I hope there will be more wraps like this in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark1447 Posted June 29, 2010 Share #8 Posted June 29, 2010 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! They are taking away the original looks of the R142As. I mean strips was fine but now all over, ARGH that sucks! Nice catch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Train Master Posted June 29, 2010 Share #9 Posted June 29, 2010 OO hell yea this looks great I rather have these than those strips of ads for college which can be seen on the R62/A and some R142/A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NX Express Posted June 29, 2010 Share #11 Posted June 29, 2010 As long as windows and destination signs are not obstructed, let all the cars be wrapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt91 Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share #13 Posted June 30, 2010 The wraps look good (except for the UNIQLO one a few months back), but I don't think every train should be wrapped. That would be excessive, and distracting from the destination signs and train type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N-Trizzy2609 Posted June 30, 2010 Share #15 Posted June 30, 2010 I caught it in service last night on the Local. Return of the Redbird? To tell ya the truth, I don't mind ads like this on the subway cuz they're pretty nice. I hate the little strips tho, they ugly up the 142s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRG Posted June 30, 2010 Share #16 Posted June 30, 2010 Return of the Redbird? 7650 DOES look like a Redbird! Oh yeah, I love the wrap on these, I hope we get more of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregorygrice Posted June 30, 2010 Share #17 Posted June 30, 2010 I kinda like the wraps. And it's bringing in money do that's cool. Just don't cover all of them. Also why doesn't the MTA put advertisements on the FIND screens?????? You could put an endless amount of ads on them. Advertising the MTA Podcasts is not bringing in money and I don't know anybody who downloads those so what's the point? I caught it in service last night on the Local. Return of the Redbird? I like that Redbird look The R142 Redbirds! Nice catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually do download the transit tracks podcasts, even though they are almost impossible to find on the itunes store and are non-existent on mta.info. They are pretty good, actually. There is one about a new MTA emergency Haz-mat vehicle that I would love to see!:cool::cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N-Trizzy2609 Posted July 4, 2010 Share #24 Posted July 4, 2010 Nice, gotta love the New Full wrap coming to lines other than the , :tup: B)! Honestly, if the adds are as tasteful as the Target one, they should wrapped some of the R142As. Bring some color to the once Redbird dominant lines. If it becomes like the with interior and everything wrapped then that's tooooo far. I still wish they take those ugly strip ads off the R62/As.
