Public Upholstery

Hullo! Collecting public transport upholstery - pubup, you could say - or 'moquette' photos from the world over. Submissions gladly accepted - include what facts you can; we like transport operators, line names, route numbers and dates. If you can add information where it's missing, that's great too! This here at the request of @sparklenight

The top one (or something like it) I've wanted a picture of for a while but never found it. Where is the second yellow/black/orange one from? It's maybe the nicest I've ever seen!

Japan’s moquettes are the best moquettes. (Taken with instagram Hakone Tozan Cable Car)

I would not be able to travel on this daily. Sensory overload. Amazing and hideous.

Here is another wonderful moquette from the Hakone Express.

Easyjet.

The secret message is "LOL, you're flying Easyjet.".

London's Route 205, East London Bus Group under Stagecoach. For me, most pubup instantly falls under pleasing or 'garishly hideous'. This hasn't really got the palette to invoke the latter, but it's still pretty Not Nice.
