The Chapel Hill Council has decided to look at selling ads on the outside of Chapel Hill Transit buses, but they’re moving ahead with heavy hearts. From WCHL:
The potential downside, of course, is that the ads may detract from the unique aesthetic of the town’s signature blue buses—particularly in the case of “wrap” ads, which cover far more space.
“I’m sure there are some cool bus wraps,” said Council Member Laurin Easthom, “but…if you wrap them all up, that’s kind of destroying something.”
Spade agreed that could be a problem, but assured the Council he’d take at least one important step to avoid ruining that classic Chapel Hill Transit look.
“We do have some really ugly buses,” he said. “We would wrap the junky buses.”
