Shanghai's buses are either new and clean, or dirty and old, but I have never seen any bus with scrawling besides the buses No. 43.
The bus No. 43 runs from Shanghai Teacher's University to the Nan Pu bridge. The two store bus without air condition provide very good places for young university students to scrawl. Here are some seats that were covered with their "art"

This is cool. I haven't seen somebody posting photos of a bus. Well I could show you very dirty suburban trains here in Hamburg, Germany as well :-) But nevertheless, keep up the good work with the blog.

BTW:
I think "The Teacher's University" may be corrected as "Normal University" ,I think.
It is strange that the English name for the same Chinese word Shifan is different. It is translated to "Normal" for East China Normal University, but translated to "Teacher" for Shanghai Teachers University. I don't know the reason, but it is the traditional translation for this school. Their website is http://www.shtu.edu.cn/english/
Posted by: Jian Shuo Wang (external link) on September 16, 2003 10:33 AMof course it should be normal, just like some others always translate "shanghai wai guo yu da xue" into "shanghai foreign language university". :( it should be SISU, sanghai international studies university
