LA Metro Blue Line Trains
CASE STUDY: LA METRO BLUE LINE TRAINS LOS ANGELES, CA LA Metro Blue Line runs from Downtown Los Angeles through South Los Angeles, Compton, Watts, and through Long Beach. CLIENT ISSUE/CHALLENGE • LA Metro had made the decision to switch from glass to polycarbonate windows in their Nippon Saryo cars • Although replacement cost is less expensive than glass, polycarbonate windows pose additional challenges for graffiti abatement • Anti-graffiti or any PS adhesive based films are not normally safe for application on polycarbonate • Polycarbonate ‘out-gasses’, causing film to bubble and stain it’s surface • Polycarbonate scratches very easily, impeding the protective value of traditional anti-graffiti film while providing an irresistible playground for graffiti vandals Visit www.Graffiti-
