Advertising on Trains

Karen Wilkinson at the Government Technology Blog has written an article about advertising on transit. BART is looking at putting video monitors in the stations and in the trains. It sounds like something similar to what’s in many elevators these days – news and advertising with no sound. I think that’s a great idea to help generate some additional revenue for the transit agencies. I do like that there’s no audio – we don’t need additional noise!
I also love it when they wrap a bus or a train. Some of them are very original and clever!
How do you feel about having a video advertising on the train when you ride it?
I always notice that my eyes are drawn to the ads – but then i get a little annoyed! It’s funny – i never thought about it as financial support for transit systems and the people who work for our safety!
