I mean, beautifying public transport is beneficial on so many levels. First, it provides an outlet for artists, another space for artistic expression to bloom in. Second, it should definitely attract more people to use public transport. For a lot of people who have the choice between driving or taking the subway and when driving isn't too expensive or too much of a hassle, most would rather drive because public transport isn't necessarily clean or safe or generally enjoyable. However, as Hannah pointed out, by creating these beautiful spaces, it makes public transport the better option. I think this is a great way to increase public transport usage and ultimately that helps decrease pollution and create a better urban environment. It is definitely a creative solution to trying to figure out how to increase public transportation usage. Most brainstorming would probably surround efficiency, safety, things like that, but I think this might demonstrate working on the appearance of the stations might actually be just as effective.Megan Pilquisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13339233357706422454noreply@blogger.com
