I would like to know what the deal is with those plastic sheets with holes that are covering a lot of the metro transit bus windows. It seems obvious the idea is to have a compromise between having advertising on the outside of the bus and still have a view from inside the bus.

The truth is it totally ruins the view and it is even a little claustrophobic inducing. It is difficult enough to enjoy a ride on the bus without totally obstructing the view like that. I've even missed my stop a few times at night because it was so difficult to see scenery and landmarks. Every time I see this stuff on the windows I just want to rip it off! —L.F
