In a city like Boston, public transit systems play an important role in maintaining the economy, reducing traffic congestion, and reducing carbon pollution. But if they’re not maintained properly, they can appear unclean or unsafe, and deter residents from using them. Unfortunately, graffiti is a persistent issue in the city of Boston, and transit systems are often affected by acts of vandalism.

That’s where Graffiti Shield window film can help. Boston public transportation systems can use Graffiti Shield to prevent damage and make repairs in an easy, low-cost manner after vandalism has occurred.

How Graffiti Shield Window Film Can Stop Vandalism in Boston

Graffiti is a problem in any big city. And Boston is no exception. Some vandals feel compelled to commit these acts because they feel like they’re creating art. In some cases, this results in very beautiful street murals. But in most cases, the act isn’t so well intended. Expensive and irreversible damage is created by people who are bored or simply have nothing better to do. The result is an unsightly array of gang signs, crude messages, and unattractive drawings plastered all over buildings, windows, bus stops, and traffic signs.

That’s where Graffiti Shield can help. Graffiti Shield is a thick, protective film that’s designed to deter vandalism. Basically, it’s adhered to flat surfaces, like walls, furniture, metal panels, and signs, to create a thick, impenetrable shield. Once in place, it protects the area underneath from damage. And, as an added bonus, it covers up scratches and marks that have already been made.

How Can It Help Transit Systems?

Graffiti Shield Window Films can help Boston transportation systems in two ways:
1. Affordably repair damaged surfaces. Graffiti Shield is a more affordable alternative to replacing damaged elevators, escalators, glass, bus stops, benches, and transit cars.
2. Prevent future damage. Not only does Graffiti Shield cover up damage, it also prevents it from happening. The thick film takes the brunt of all damage inflicted in the future. So, if a transit system buys new elevators or train cars, they can install Graffiti Shield to protect their investment. If a vandal comes along and tries to scratch or mark up the surface, the film will absorb all of the damage so that the underlying surface remains unharmed.
