Thoughts on NYC Subway ads? They are sort of entertaining sometimes, when there isn’t cell signal underground.

Thoughts on NYC Subway ads? They are sort of entertaining sometimes, when there isn’t cell signal underground.
- jborichevskiy 7y agoStrong dislike. I'm already paying $2.75 per ride - how much are the ads subsidizing my ride by? I couldn't find anything on it with a cursory search but my guess is not much - far less than the psychological cost of getting toothbrushes, mattresses, food delivery services, and who knows what other ads shoved into my face any direction I look. I think the worst ones are the TV show/movie ones lining the subway walkways where I feel like I'm walking through some sort of physical channel directory. I do think the space should be reserved and used for advertising city services such as 311 information, elderly housing services, housing rights etc. It's a great way of educating the city residents about benefits and rights they might not otherwise be aware of.
