Yes, I see a lot of advertising on public transport, especially on the metro buses and minibuses in Hong Kong. The advertisements are everywhere, which can be quite overwhelming and sometimes irritating because they are very loud and colourful. For example, some ads use bright lights and loud sounds, which can be distracting during the commute.

Do you like advertisements?

It depends on the advertisement. I enjoy watching those that are educational and aligned with my interests, such as documentaries or ads about technology because they allow me to learn something new. However, some others tend to be quite formulaic and repetitive which I find boring, so I usually try to avoid them if possible.
