Given the option between higher fares and no ads, or our current fares with ads, I know which I’d take.

Where is this ??
I used to walk the tunnel under Central Station – decades ago – when the walls had NOTHING on them – made that walk damned long….. until they painted a few murals…. at least it was something to look at and allowed you to judge how much longer you would be walking.

Sad … This tunnel is beautiful with the lights and a bit of music.

These are projections, right?

Honest I don’t mind it too much. If it can subsidise or bring fares down why not.
I think they should look at doing it in carriages like small rectangle inserts that wrap along the top, it’s how a lot of Asian countries have it as well, I guess it’s how you keep costs down.

That’s the nicest ad you’ll see

There’s absolutely nothing we wouldn’t sell for advertising space.
Example – the trapezoidal screens in the tunnel at Wynyard that connects to Barangaroo used to have fantastic public art. Now it’s Westpac ads. Worse yet, Transport sold the naming right of the tunnel and called it “Westpac Walk”.
Extraordinary shit.

If only we kept the land tax as well to adequately capture the value generated from the metro…

It would be a shame if someone put graffiti everywhere.

Who cares, it helps pay for the trains

If ads help pay for this important public service, then I’m absolutely fine with it. What I don’t understand is why we don’t get more ads on our trains.

Head to museum station, this type of thing has ALWAYS existed. To say nothing of all the other stations that do it in Sydney. Not to mention look at any photos of old London or Paris stations. Selling people stuff they don’t need or the latest movie/theatre has been happening for centuries.
