Three Cities Coupled

Helsinki has an uncommon advertising on one of the city's metro trains. The orange train has been made up partially to look like New York's subway and partially like London's tube. This is an ad of Finland's biggest newspaper Helsingin Sanomat saying that "you can also read news from these cities" in that newspaper.
