Why does a graffitied train have to be taken out of circulation immediately? How much does it cost in your country to clean up one graffiti piece? In Finland, the average cleanup cost is 600-700ish.

"Broken windows theory" approach popularized in NYC in the 80s. Vandals do it to be seen, so minimizing the potential views has the effect of minimizing a vandal's desire to tag trains, since they know it won't last long.

I've read about this and it's an interesting threory, and it's true by all means. I used to work for a railway company while also painting graffiti, not trains though. The extremes people go to just for painting trains is interesting.
So many train painters are also just railway autists, honestly

Over here they leave it on until the next maintenance cycle as long as you follow two simple rules:
>don't spray over the windows
>don't spray over important markings
Most graffiti "artists" don't have the brain cells for that I suppose.

Funny thing is, the Romanian Bucharest Metro authority actually encouraged people to graffiti up some ancient-ass rolling stock. They figured out it was way cheaper (read: free) to get vandals to paint the trains for them.

I assume because they can not guarantee that the graf artist hasn't fucked with the train in another way (severing lines, tampering with equipment etc) so they need to clean and inspect before being put into service. I've never tampered with a train after painting it but some wilder crews will intentionally break shit.

I love metro graf. unofficial, unpaid, illegal penetration testers that show how pathetic modern day metro security is. Imagine having 30+ mins of unrestricted access to mass public transport carriages if you were a bad apple. Unthinkable

It would be interesting to have pentesters and metro writers make a presentation for something like Defcon, but a lot of people would get mad after that. There's so god damn many layers to this it's unreal. Emergency brakes, literally stalking for 2+ weeks in bushes for worker and guard activity, looking at timetables.. I hope one day there'll be something like I mentioned, but the secrecy will die along with it. On the other hand, people have been doing this since the 70s in some way shape or form, it'll just get more complicated for those in the sport

No, your average cleanup cost is 600-700 * r, where r = repeat offending rate.
A little vigilantism, particularly if this is being done by third worlders, can save millions. I mean, you're going to give serious consideration to using a spray paint can again once you've lost a fingertip.

yeah i feel like it's this more than muh broken window. the tagger probably covered a window or two or got paint in a vent or some shit.

>>2058178
lots of cities have been doing this with various objects, they set up "tag walls" in shitty looking places hoping to spruce up the place and kickstart gentrification of dead industrial areas

Vandals should be executed. Of course jewish hollywood promotes graffiti as being artistic even though 99.99% of the time it's ghetto thugs painting gang tags and misspelled swear words all over everything.
