Why would advertisers
1. Only do one side and only one carriage -- Inconsistancy
2. Use graffiti without any company name
3. Use spray cans to advertise instead of the usual stickers.
Also spraying onto the metal and rubber portion -- Advertisment on
non-advertisment spot [EDIT] Also spraying on the livery, have you
seen one full exterior advert on the livery? [/EDIT]
Because, they want to seek attention. See, we all want to catch
the train by tomorrow. Out of so many train with advert, we want to
see the 047/048 the most. Attention gotten.
In the case of really graffti, I doubt it can be done at any of
the stations due to the crowd may just pin him / her / report to
staff etc (And even in non-peak hour time, such as late nights
would have been caught by the CSO downstairs easily as they the
staff are too bo liao and watch CCTV then) and thus it should be
some internal acts. Most likely, it could be one of the TO who had
involved in a suicide incident happened recently or whatever (Maybe
X years ago, but recent tradgedy struck on this TO's friend again
makes him / her thought of it at another station.... and wished to
quit it but doing in a "creative way".
