Flipping through the JTA website I noticed the JTA says "advertising is available on JTA buses, trolleys, transit shelters, community shuttles and Skyway vehicles." (My highlight)
I was able to research JTA's webpages back to 2004 and this is the first time Skyway is ever mentioned in the transit advertising section (it looks like Skyway was added within the past several months).
Does anybody know if "available on...Skyway vehicles" includes wrap advertising? I'm all for it but don't you think wrap advertising would require a signage exception from the city council?
I'm pretty ambivalent about vehicle wrap advertising in general. They're generally unsightly to begin with, and seem to be most often purchased by despicable things like personal injury lawyers and for-profit "colleges". But I guess it's a nice revenue source for the city.

...don't forget Hooters.
Maybe JTA reads MJ. And advertisements would look better than train from the 70s look/ well maybe just as bad.

Companies don't need city council's approval for street vehicles (buses, vans, etc). Why would JTA need one for the Skyway train (smaller than their buses)? Just asking.
