There's already enough ads inside our publicly funded ferries and terminals... this is just overdoing it.
The fares get raised every season and we pass laws to increase ferry funding for worse service, yet there's still a need to shove these ads down our throats? The service is objectively worse than it was a decade ago, but it's more expensive beyond inflation. Maybe I'd be okay with these ads if the ferries were dependable and I didn't have to pay an arm and a leg to use them.
Also the fact that Seattle has both a soda tax and advertisements for soda. Seems a bit contradictory.
