It seems like during election years you can’t get away from political ads no matter where you go. Am I right or am I right? Well, you could ride New York’s subway or buses if you want a few minutes of peace- the board of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority voted yesterday to ban political advertising on public transit.
They’re not just doing it to save your sanity though, the vote is a way to avoid future legal challenges like the ones the board faced after rejecting some ads with political messages in the past.
