Trainspotter Posted October 4, 2007 Share #1 Posted October 4, 2007 Bill would ban alcohol ads on buses, subways Subways and buses could soon become an alcohol-free ad zone if Assemblyman Felix Ortiz of Brooklyn gets his way.

I understand the motive behind the ban, but I really don't think there will be any effect from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
