Ad on the train "Go where the bus won't take you!"
1. Not a bus, train.
2. A good deal of train passengers don't have their own transport. So how are they going to get to the place public trans doesn't go?
It's for some "wine country" type deal downstate. Snearing at public trans is not a good look.
Was it not an ad saying the train could take you places the bus won't?
Because any other option is really dumb and gross.
@tyghebright No, it's the eL train in Chicago. It doesn't leave the city, let alone go all the way down south.
It's an ad to come visit, it's not a travel package or tour.
That shows a terrible understanding of the demographic and a badly misplaced ad.
@tyghebright
There's a lot of anti-Chicago sentiment down south. I've noticed places outside the city often use city-fatigue or anti-city angles to advertise.
They seem to think that won't affect the opinions of those of us who like it here.
It's really hard to get people to understand that 2/3 of the US pop. lives in or near a city, only 1/3 of us are rural. So anti-city stuff is just insulting the biggest population.
So many politics and cultural divisions in this country still fall along urban vs rural lines.
