I hate ads on the outside of windows. And they give the little pinholes, like that’s supposed to be enough. The world becomes a blur. Out the window is the least anxious place to look on public transport, but they put ads all over the windows, and give us this pinhole grid crap like it makes up for it.
Yes, the wraps are a total bummer for sightseeing!
They are very common in LA though, as not only a means of $$$'s in revenue, but as a cooling measure.
The busses and above ground rail with these wraps are much cooler and easier to AC in the summer
Agreed. There’s a slight relief here, though: I believe this is the Times Square shuttle train, which only runs back and forth over a few stations and never goes outside. So at least you’re not on this train for long and never missing a view

Ads in Windows are infuriating whether you’re talking about panes of glass or your laptop.

Why not just replace the windows entirely?
Passenger vehicles legally need windows. Afaik, it’s a safety regulation
Ever wanted to feel what it was like to be on the inside of a microwave? Well, now you can!
