Turbo19 Posted January 13, 2014 Share #5277 Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) The is already a vintage line the way I see it. You raise an excellent point, but I do believe this was more in reference to non revenue equipment. Sure the R32's are older than shit but they're on that line every damn day. Since 1932. No, it's only no that it's running crappy equipment. The whole point was vintage equipment would be better than the food cans they have now, unless some where actually serious.

NY1635 Posted January 13, 2014 Share #5278 Posted January 13, 2014 There's a R160 that has been wrapped in a Jaguar ad. One of the car numbers is 9613. I saw it today on the F line at Jamaica-179 Street, and again at Jackson Heights Roosevelt Avenue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo19 Posted January 14, 2014 Share #5284 Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) For obvious reasons I've always detested auto ads on transit vehicles. It's very contradicting. Edited January 14, 2014 by Turbo19 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what hes saying is advertising a car on a train is weird because their advertising you to buy a car, looking at how good a car is, on a train car. When you think about, seems like somewhat of a weird senerio. Riding the train, but seeing a good looking car. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itmaybeokay Posted January 14, 2014 Share #5290 Posted January 14, 2014 I was on a R68 today for the first time in a long time and I take it everyday wonder why that is. Well there you go, I could have sworn I saw one going the opposite way as me on the this evening but it was like an "I can't be sure" sort of thing. The side ribbing looked different than an R46, and there are remarkably few 46's on the R these days. Guess I might not have been wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? Damn you Nissan. And I unfortunately don't have an answer for your question. Okay, with this, I take back my original statement. I failed to see this reason for some reason. I'm not that much of a hater after all. I'm all for public transit, but shit, I'd be lying if I said I never considered owning a car for leisure purposes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realizm Posted January 14, 2014 Share #5294 Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) Oh gawd no! They are starting to ad wrap my R160's? The bastards! But you would not object to a Victoria's Secret wrap, would you? Yes even if it was a Victoria Secret Microsoft or T-Mobile wrap ad etc etc of course I would be opposed to it. Call me a foamer (and thanks for the compliment) but I dont like the idea of commercialism taking over the system to the point that we have NTTs rolling rolling rollin like mobile billboards. As another fellow member said it takes away from the awesomeness of the subway cars. If I want to look for ads for phat sports cars (like I got the money), or the latest smartphones, or a buy a sexy piece of lingerie for my sexy lovely kittens to wear in the bedroom for me, or get the scoop on the next shit sitcom I can google it or get it in the newspaper, thats all there is to it. I don't need Windows 8 wrap ads thrown on my face on an R142 or an R160 in this case to be in the know that a new product is out. Oh man, whats next? Wrap ads on the R188's? Yeah what was the opposing arguement again before anyone asks? hey realizm then if you dont like it, then pay for operational costs with an extra 25 cents added to the fare with the next fare hike to pay for keeping the system in good working order blah blah played out arguement please. Ok I sure got an answer, the answer is tell Albany get off their asses and give the MTA a break already with more funding and tell Pendergrast to stop the financial commitee to mismanage the funds.

There. I didn't know that this was a serious issue to you. Anyhow I'm inclined to agree with your stance on invasive ads, and ads in general on transit vehicles. They're there to simply make quick buck as the annual earning don't amount to a grand figure and the end scheme of things. As for my comment on the Victoria's Secret ad, that stemmed from a convo where I said that I'd rather look at some women over a car, in reference to the Jaguar ad out now. Its their trains, they can do whatever the hell they wanna do with them, its bringing in some kind of extra income dir them, if you don't like it, you better start walking ...there you go lmao Public transit is meant to serve the public, so public input on various issues should be taken into consideration. And i am paying for it by swiping my metrocard everytime I board the station therefore I expect decent service. Ha. Right on! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
