Thank you for patronizing the Megatrend/Purple Line

Pilipinos speak excellent English. 'Good morning sir maam' is a daily greeting as you walk into stores, get onto the train line and eat at resteraunts. However, sometimes there are things written in English that just make you giggle. Like, "Thank you for patronizing the Megatrend/Purple Line". The Megatrend/Purple line in the train I ride to work and while of course you know what they mean, really patronizing the line is the last thing i would do - it's clean, there are guards on every carriage, it's cheap (about 25 cents) and best of all fast and air conditioned!
