Delinquents deface LRT train carriage with paint.
Here's a fresh take on the story:
Apparently, the scene of the recent graffiti incident unfolded at the "Nazarbayev Airport" station, as reported by Vechernyaya Astana, citing the Telegram channel Astanovka98.
It seems the City Transportation System (CTS) has taken action, confirming a criminal case has been launched. As the cleanup crew works diligently to rid the trains of the unwanted graffiti, the transport company revealed a protective layer shielding their vehicles. This specialized coating, applied to the trains' exterior, safeguards the main paint layer from paint penetration, making graffiti removal a breeze, without causing damage.
The latest LRT trains in Astana, just recently put into operation, are undoubtedly treasures the transport company is determined to preserve. This proactive approach to combating vandalism underscores their commitment to maintaining the city's public transport assets in pristine condition[1][2].
