Advertising Buses

This section of Barp will be dedicated to showing images of buses painted/ vinyl wrapped in full body advertising. While more often than not I would prefer to see a bus without any advertising on it period, it is a fact of life for many transit systems as the full body wraps provide additional revenue for the transit system. They do also provide a dash of colour to the regular paint schemes of a transit system and some are even quite creative.
One part of this section will show ads that have shown up on more than one system.
This page will also show the "vinyl murals", full rear end ads and banner often seen on buses. There are going to be included as usually only two or three companies seem to have these ads on buses from one transit system at anyone time.

Note: Barp is not affiliated with any of the advertisers shown in the photographs.
