Why Mass Transit
Mass transit is growing at an astonishing rate in many highly populated cities across the globe. With the rise in population within these cities it’s likely the transit area and components are greatly utilized. With the growing rate of use comes a growing challenge of vandalism and graffiti. Trains, buses, elevators, stairways, and escalators have all become prime targets for aggressive vandalism, with a majority of their surface area comprised of glass and stainless steel. Damage commonly occurs through the use of a sharp object or acid etching.
