Many people look at a bus and think of transportation but there are some who look at a bus and see a mobile billboard. Metro has operated mobile billboards for a number of years and on the following pages you will see some of the best and worst advertising that has graced Metro buses.
Over the years individual buses have carried a number of advertisments while other buses have carried just one ad before reverting to the colour scheme of the day. The links will take you to the various examples but perhaps we should start our journey with Metro's attempts at self-advertising.
Metro has always recognised that it has a responsibility to be involved in the community and currently it sponsors a number of initiatives including driver education as well as childrens activities such as junior cricket. However, a few years ago it promoted student art - by putting it on a bus.
