New metro paint scheme ( Graffiti )

Photos of Southern African Metro Rail Systems! Photos should be 800x600 pixels, maximum size 130K. Very good ones will be moved to the Online Gallery, the rest may be pruned away after 14 days to conserve space.

Is the other side like that as well? These people have more money than sense.

No the other side has not been painted, when I first saw it even the windows had been painted over.

Did you say months?? I wonder how often trains go through the 'buffer'. I would have thought that a whole car piece would be taken out of service rather quickly. Then again they are not stainless steel Budd type cars where the 'art' can be cleaned off. In this case and cases like it would the car require a whole new paint job? Those holiday flats behind have such splendid views!!
