In-Train ads

sbst275 SG

Have your noticed SMRT dun have in-train ads anymore?

vindicated SG

Oh, those ads are disgusting to commuters’ eyes!

dragg SG

who cares?

sbst275 SG

It is still better than placing at the train station screen which is meant for passenger information Evil or Very Mad

Waste of $$ in that in-train TV for SMRT fleet

SGEMP SG

The in trainTV should have been used to provide live applied information to its passengers, not bloody eyesore craps!!!

Such eyesore, I have seen enough already!

In earlier days, I remembered of the Red Cross Give Blood Save Lives advertisement, in which two boxers box out until one fell and blood vomited out of the fallen's mouth.

So disgusting the advertisement!!!

So SMRT should have located more gracious advertisements and not bloody disgusting advertisement like the abovementioned!

sbst275 SG

Well, bef talking abt this ads issue, that TV has been off... It's like a white elephant..

That Red Cross, SMRT big supporter

SGEMP SG

Ya that is always the case for SMRT. SBST is still hopeful though. Because last sat night when I head north to HG along the way the SBSTNEL on train TV broadcasted practical informations such as safety on NEL.

Little did I know that Red Cross was SMRT's big supporter. (I mean only now did I was informed and know of this.)

noticed, theres less ads on SMRT stations and trains this years.. last time all those underground station ad space will be full.. same for the trains interior.. now very very few.. and SBS is no better right from the start..

No advertiser wants to advertise tats why don't have lah. Do you know how much it cost for a whole train to be put up wif those boards? At least a 5 figure sums. Some trains u notice don't have any ads are coz the contractor removed the old ones and waiting for the new ads to be put up hence the empty ads on trains.

sbst275 SG

NEL practically all trains on service are full of ads leh Laughing

Manager433 SG

How many trains SBST have? How many trains SMRT have? Cannot compare mah. Now all ads will be focus on the windows, seats, ceiling and even draughtscreen of all trains. Notice or not?

Mr. Green

sbst275 SG

SBS has 30 trains hor

By right based on distance, 20km NEL has 30 trains, SMRT has 86km line, only 106 trains

ceecookie SG

Even better...they should advertise World Naked News Laughing

SBS9889U SG

Not possible and it isnt that funny either.

Troy437 SG

I tot I still see Ribena ads on the large train windows, where the packets of Ribena are slinged to the modesl in the ads...in NEL.

sbst275 SG

Practically all NEL trains have ads, even the TV has TVC as well Laughing

Moove Media has been maximising ad space, last time SBS Ads rarely used NAC buses for ads... Now Moove Media uses NAC buses

SBS1985C SG

they usually use the back of the bus (no openable windows) has anyone seen a side ad on a NAC bus?

charlize SG

Buses and trains look more like floats and advertising billboards than public transport nowadays. Laughing

SBS9889U SG

Well, NEL's exterior doesnt have that much ads as compared to the interior. However, as ads like ribena ad are on the interior windows, the exterior will also seem to be covered with ads.

As like said SMRT had seemed to replace in-train ads, mostly about new movies like "Narnia...." (Walt Disney), and "the Promise" (Encore! Films).

Last time SMRT in-train TVs had broadcasted the trailer of the "Brotherhood" (also the Encore! Films).

And well recently NEL trains broadcasted the Buddha Relic Temple (mostly in Chinese) ads stating its need for support, and Marigold/Magnolia (?) milk, and safety info on trains.

P.S. : In my very very very humble opinion and frankly speaking I felt that the Buddha Relic Temple advertisement is the most gracious advertisement I had ever seen in the recent years, for it has stated the proper application of the Buddha Tooth Relic (proper name) for improving and enhancing our (actually very boring) lifes, where others are really too overly commercially-intensive, and very boring.
