Yeah...the BART in SFO has fabric cushions and they're a little gross.

Agreed, but otherwise, I'm all about getting things funded from private sources as much as possible.
I don't care if today's rail ride is brought to me by Ford Motor Company and Coca Cola.

joev wrote I really like it. Maybe indie artists could deck out the cars instead of IKEA. The streetcar will be great, but we could get a huge PR boost out of tying to the arts somehow.
yeah, but that would totally destroy the point of getting them for free.

Or you could just offer the opportunity to those artists who wanted to do it for free. That's some pretty great marketing for them, no?
Or are you saying that IKEA paid for the whole system? That's a different story. Maybe Nationwide could reinvest any $$ it recoups from SkyBus into streetcars. (haha)

Yeah, IKEA sponsored the car, which means they picked up the cost on that specific car.
Now we just have to find a way to have every car picked up by a company.... and then find a way to have the tracks advertised... hmmmmmm
