I strongly dislike it when even the windows of a bus are covered by advertisements. While there may be small holes to see outside, it remains uncomfortable to sit inside.
We do not need to adopt this „billboard culture“
In my city, a foreign advertising form was allowed to put ads on buses (as well as billboards and street furniture) in exchange for operating an inexpensive share bike scheme. In 2021, they pulled the share bikes off the street because the far more expensive private un-docked escooter share schemes made more money for the Council. But they didn’t stop the advertising.
So now we get ads on our buses and blocking our footpaths, in exchange for nothing in return.

Capitalism disagrees with you wholeheartedly.
Thank you, it also means the busses do not have a uniform color making them harder to spot. Even if it’s a “nice” ad it’s still an ad.
You can’t spot a bus?
A red bus no less.
Not when it’s between trucks, no.
(I think the initial title said busses too and in a brainfart moment I followed along)

I rode in one once, I found it surprisingly visible to see outside. But I agree with not excessive billboard culture.
