That's fair, but even interesting graffiti still won't let any sunshine come through. Also, I would rather look out the window [0] than appreciate artwork when riding on a train.

When I ride my local rail, I look forward to getting to pass another train to see all the amazing artwork.

It's far nicer and more interesting than yet another development or parking lot.

Oh lucky you. Most of the defaced trains I see are not amazing. They are hastily done and would hardly qualify as artwork. :(

Considering the look of the train to the vast majority of people outside of it, I'm fine with not seeing anything - I'm staring at my book anyway for the most part, and there's another window on the other side. And I prefer it a lot over those ads that anyway otherwise contaminate the window with some random, probably sexist, racist, or otherwise shite nonsense.
