Advertisers are having to become more and more innovative to capture the public’s attention, and bus shelters are a popular spot for them to deploy the best and brightest ideas. Many companies recognise bus shelters as an important spot for ambient advertising as consumers can be sat around for a long time and need something to keep them occupied and dispel boredom.
This list of 100 bus shelter adverts highlight the ads that are most alluring, funny, creative and eye-catching from around the world. Some are decorative, some make you think and some just mess around with bus shelters in crazy and dumb-founding ways.
