Okay..when will this become available on the E Train.
sueg | April 14, 2008
theyre great!!
e_rich | April 14, 2008
Let's be real, though. Once it gets packed, no matter how comfortable and different the seats are, you're not going to enjoy having someone's crotch/ass in your face. Unless you're into that sorta thing.
Ms_Kanye_West | April 14, 2008
looks like it should be a party bus.
_Banned_ | April 14, 2008
^^ Exactly what I was thinking, another way to put across 'soul train' now u know here comes another illustration. Hahaha
tuesdainoelle | April 14, 2008
Kanye lol, is this interesting...ummm...interesting lol. Though idea of "The Redecorated Train" has it's "creative moments" if you will...but um...I don't know about those patterns and color arrangements by IKEA (with the exception of 2, greeen and white zigzags and the tan and black) looks a little tacky,cheesy and patterns are over powering the other, with the way that they've placed them.
tuesdainoelle | April 14, 2008
Correction: this is interesting...etc
LoveBomb | April 14, 2008
OMG that is too hot! But you know NYC could never do this lol,... Hate to say it but I can just see how people would tear that up!
@Kanye: You should post that new Lupe video "Paris, Tokyo." That video is super fresh!
LoveBomb | April 14, 2008
@cmhoodrich
Florida sucks? Wanna trade places?lol
ladieschoice | April 14, 2008
awesome. this is so soulful & colourful!
Tamomari | April 14, 2008
Looks nice; but, that could NEVER work here in NYC because those couches would look so nasty in 2 days that you could not sit on them. However, nice thought.
ciara1989 | April 14, 2008
Neverland!!
MURDAINMAYHEM | April 14, 2008

shittyhoe | April 14, 2008

m0art | April 14, 2008
That_Girl0906: 'that could NEVER work here in NYC'
thats sad but it wouldnt last anywere, ppl dont respect things around them, esp. public prop. ...
would be so much nicer if we could enjoy this kind of ideas in everyday life:)
soladyatvienna | April 14, 2008

Collegin4theGoodLife | April 14, 2008

LoveBomb | April 14, 2008
@moArt,
I kno right...I am trying to be optimistic to think there is such a place where nice things could stay nice in public places
SoloPoloVision | April 14, 2008
Sick idea, go Ikea that's awesome!
ChicC | April 14, 2008
i wish that all trains were like that, though it wouldnt last long in perfect state.
gettingoutmydream | April 14, 2008
@jaxa33 Chic-Fil-A is bomb!!! I love that place!!
lilmissunshine | April 14, 2008
HECK YEA to the title!!!
i would miss ALL my stops...prolly sleep lol
effie127 | April 14, 2008
Kanye! Why is nobody showing Kansas some hip-hop love??? I've been holding on hoping to see a tour date added for Kansas City, but no luck as of yet!! Home to NCAA Basketball Champions and Football Orange Bowl Champs this year, we do it BIG in Kansas. So it's only right that the biggest artist in Hip-Hop comes through to show us some love. I've been working since last year to make plans for you to come perform at the University of Kansas but all plans have fallen through!!! Please come show Kansas what hip-hop is all about. We love you out here!!!
ChasePino | April 14, 2008
looks like a little apartment
Allen_Walker | April 14, 2008
Man, why can't the BART look that comfortable?
Visvim_maniac | April 14, 2008

ChiTown_ninja | April 14, 2008
that hott, but the glow in the dark concert is hotter, yo kanye please give me some tickets.......
AspiringMC | April 14, 2008
I like the black and white leather in the third picture, reminds me of Fendi. The clover seat and the one across from it, is hot too. Trains are relaxin. I would have to have a seat. Even though, I am a stand up chick.
AspiringMC | April 14, 2008
I did not know IKEA was a Swedish brand. Sweet!!
tr3sDosUno | April 14, 2008

syncity | April 14, 2008
wow only if...just if this was applied on the mta system in new york..yah..i'd really doubt it! lol this can be a house for the homeless!
redlipstick | April 14, 2008
NYC needs to upgrade lol yea right.
shadowman | April 14, 2008
The train isn't very enticing. This makes it cool.
