The Cost of Graffiti and Vandalism Cleanup in Public Places is Enormous

Network Rail estimates it costs more than £5 million per year to clean up graffiti, not including the loss of revenue or delays in service

Graffiti cleanup costs London Underground in excess of £10 million per year, and it would cost about £38 million to replace all of the graffiti-etched windows on every Tube train

Dealing with graffiti also diverts valuable police and staff resources. Hundreds of thousands of staff hours are taken up in cleaning, repairs and police time

London Underground devotes some 70,000 hours a year just to cleaning up graffiti
