I really hate ad agencies that can’t work with the windows creatively. And transit agencies which think blocking one of the attractions of riding the bus - being able to watch out the windows leisurely - is enhancing the user experience.

not like you can see out of @njtransit.bsky.social windows anyway. maybe wraps can help pay to fix the problems https://www.nj.com/news/2024/05/why-you-cant-see-out-the-window-on-some-nj-transit-trains.html

I don't think they hurt ridership much because ridership is primarily driven by the basics: trip time, convenience (ie, frequency and one-seat rides) and reliability. They are still annoying though.

I'd never really thought about this, that is a really intense over the window print, I'm going to have to take a photo next time I'm on the bus because I am sure that the ones on our busses (Brisbane, Australia) are less intrusive from inside...

I think that's a sunscreen. It gets hot there.

Completely agree. They make it impossible for riders to watch for their stop & they make the bus claustrophobic.
