All about graffiti

One of the primary places for graffiti in the city is on city trains. Graffiti on trains is not as prevalent as it once was in the past because many trains are coated with a substance that does not allow the paint to adhere to the train. This has prevented a great deal of graffiti from occurring on trains in recent history.

Throughout history, one of the biggest targets for graffiti was city trains. Watch any older movie and you will see elevated trains rumbling through the city covered with graffiti. This was normally done as a way to make an expression. Early graffiti on trains was not related to gangs, but a form of vandalism. Swear words and even names were put on these trains.
