If you liked the Orla Kiely tram from a couple weeks ago, check out this monorail in Kobe, Japan adorned with prints from Ikea's spring collection to celebrate the opening of a new Ikea location in the area. See more photos here.

that is such a GREAT idea.
now only if they'd do the same thing here in san francisco. i think it would help increase people taking public transpo. at least i'd take it more often :)

As a "professional" bus rider and public transportation, I think this is phenomenal! What a great twist to your daily ride.

Are those sofas?!?! We only have plastic seats or cushion bum rests on our trains in Singapore :( Looks really pretty and uplifting, esp if you ride it on a Monday, lol!

Once again, that is stunning. That is the best billboard that anyone could create for themselves. It would make me want to commute.

I live on the island on which the Kobe Ikea is situated, and the train has stopped its run now, but it was awesome to ride it into the main part of the city whenever I managed to catch it!
