One of the best things about commuting in Japan - trains are full O pictures of 2D and 3D girlies. Do you have nice stuff to look at on transportation in your region?

We have ads. Just not nice ones like these. >w<

I think people would miss their stop if there were ads like that here.
(ID #259753) Posted on 2008/08/08 04:06
The majority of advertisement on trains and buses around her tends to be shouty (visually loud) ugly, and entirely content-free. I don't mind content-free if the ad is nice to look at, but if it has to be ugly and "in my face" then I'd like it to tell me a bit about what I'm looking at and why I need to be looking at said ugly and "in-my-face" item. Ads like the ones you've got are significantly nicer, but they'd be pulled in about ten seconds after someone complained here.

Nope, no lovely adds on public transport here.
(ID #259773) Posted on 2008/08/08 04:55
No trains where I live, but in cities that does have... no, ads are not that nice.
(ID #259791) Posted on 2008/08/08 05:31
nothing that provocative here although there's a condom ad on the trains these days, which is kinda bold given the narrowed-minded society here. made in japan btw :) those ads look rather messy. I find it distracting with too many gals clustered together. i prefer those ads that feature one gal. 2d too i may add ^^

The tube in London is usually too crowded to see any adverts.
(ID #259811) Posted on 2008/08/08 06:16
Most ads are like "we are improving transit" *cough* ,or "are you debt". So no our ads aren't very interesting

Most ads are for local colleges, radio stations or about rate hikes.

In the subway, some people buy entire cars to put their ads in. If you're lucky enough to be in the beer ad car, it's nice eye candy. However, most of the time you are stuck with the public service ads about no littering, running down stairs, etc. The density of Japanese ads is drastically different. JR seems to have a lot more girls per area than the New York subway, which seems to space girls out more.

Ads on trains here are of Broadway, the latest over hyped TV shows, and other media related stuff, no animu at all T_T.

We have THE most boring ass adverts on our trains. Usually adverts about more trains actually....
(ID #259850) Posted on 2008/08/08 07:30
if we have adverts like that over here, there will be so much suing and enforcing family values by banning obscene things.

We have dull and boring adverts you can find.. Some of them are even very outdated that they forgot to change it.. I wish ours will be like Japans.. ^^

In our public transportation systems here in Georgia, we usually just have adds for new sitcoms or movies. Nothing of the sort in your picture. I only hope and pray for us to have adverts like these one day.

Ads like those are mostly found in our train stations. There was this one incident where a large billboard about a girl wearing a swimsuit doing a pose caused so much traffic. They brought it down of course after that. Well I guess that means that ads like that are allowed here provided that they don't "disrupt" anyone aka the drivers LOL XD

No, here I can only look at shitty graffiti(not even that, just name tags) on most buses and trams. Underground has more ads but nothing interesting to mention except for one time; there was a loli girl sitting on an apple. That was cute, but the only advertisement that got my attention so far.
(ID #259930) Posted on 2008/08/08 10:19
Only the local buses have ads where I'm from. If someone is going to put thier own ad anywhere in my town, one of three things may happen. 1) People with spray paint will come talk to you. 2) People will shout profanities at you while they pass by. 3) Your gonna get arrested.
(ID #259932) Posted on 2008/08/08 10:26
Btw, I saw a dark knight ad (in my town). I liked that one!

The NYC Subway is chock-full of all kind of ads, but not too many like those. NJ Transit, even less likely. E^D
(ID #259993) Posted on 2008/08/08 12:52
No subway here. There is a city bus station.., but I doubt there are pics, other then maps and directions there.., >_>

Spanish poems with translation to the native language. <-- inside the trains But right now, there's a picture of a local actress featuring her video of a dance promoting how to be slim. <-- at the stations
(ID #260003) Posted on 2008/08/08 13:20
lots of ads here too. the majority of them seem to be for condoms, birth control, STD's and erectile disfuntion.
(ID #260025) Posted on 2008/08/08 13:59
None whatsoever. The few that pop up from time to time are extremely boring.

No advertising on Sydney trains but on Buses(they have the exterior advertisements like most places do.

Whenever there is an advertisment that is provocative, it's usually stolen within a few days. Not that I have anything to do with it mind you...

I haven't taken the train in a long time, so I can't really speak for that. There's no adverts inside our buses or taxi's but.. Taxi's are 'modified' over here, chrome, a system.. the whole deal. Decals are a must. You'll only understand it if you've lived in SA for a long time, it's not funny unless you get it.. something like that XD Might I add that taxi and bus drivers here are very dangerous ^^;

My bad, I did not elabororate enough... The taxi and bus drivers tend to be very unsafe drivers. Running red lights are fairly common... This is in general and as of late the transport systems are better. The drivers have hard laws against them, so we feel safer now.

Nope, no ads like that at all over here. We have ads but just as it was mentioned in posts before mine, they're usually ugly and in your face. If ads like the ones in your pic were put up in public over here, the county would get thousands of phone calls from people complaining that the ads are too risque and demanding that they be taken down. Quite sad how narrow-minded people here are.
(ID #260184) Posted on 2008/08/08 19:06
Just the usual and dull adverts of products and security companies. But after seeing the Japans metro stations for the firs time here, I expected a sign like that XD

In the UK our trains are full of old McDonalds wrappers and used copies of Metro. While in Japan last year I fell in love with the woman advertising McDonalds burgers - she was really hot. Also is the Yamanote line train still running that had the paper cutlery hanging down from the ceiling? It was the coolest advertising I've seen for a while.

Bleh, on trams they kinda suck here, on train there are no ads, busses are a bit like the trams but even less. The outside of trams have ads though, and sometimes even the complete tram has an ad on it. But nothing as hot as those in the pic above ^^
