The first Skyway car with an ad wrap was put into service today. Here are a few bad pictures from my cell phone.

Love it!
Glad to see they are doing this
I trust (HOPE) that they can be somewhat selective in content...
Nice.
Here's a better shot:

The One Spark ad wrap looks better than the typical Skyway car color scheme, IMO.
Very nice.
^100%
After One Spark, will they actually be soliciting a way for bona fide advertisers to wrap Skyway cars?
The One Spark thing is more of a sponsor trade arrangement.
BTW, the design looks nice.
At least the cars don't look like they are from the 70s anymore

It was such a joke they passed on wrapping these cars during the Super Bowl.
The One Spark design is nice. I'm ambivalent about the wraps in general, though. They always seem to be advertising some awful thing. Not sure it's worth whatever extra revenue they get to see some personal injury attorney or for-profit college logo soaring over the streets of downtown.

if you want to see dated cars, take a look at Miami's Metromover system. That said, function is what matters, and in that Miami does very well.
Would have been nice if they were doing that during superbowl weekend. They would have really raked in the dough. Good to see they are finally doing this. Definately spices things up
The sleeping giant has stirred but lets not expect victory.

Yeah, I'm in agreement that it looks far better now than before! And while I do hope the designs continue to look awesome, I'd prefer an ugly ad over the non-revenue-generating ugly natural design.
I personally like the OneSpark wrap from a design standpoint.
I also like the Chevy ads on the People Mover in Detroit. The Skyway would look GREAT with a Jaguars wrap... just saying!

+1000
^+1 Was just Downtown and saw it and it kept my eye. There are fireworks and a boat parade just 5 hours out. Anyone going?
A boat parade?! tonight?! Awesome!
After One Spark I'd like to see Jack Daniles or Jim Beam place ads on the skyway. Make those cars look like whisky bottles. LOL
