Title: Spotted: Actual advertising on a Scania!
Post by: Buzz Killington on September 09, 2009, 09:21:41 AM
Just spotted a Scania (337 I believe - smitho would know) with a Dick Smith ad on the rear window.

Maybe this 'Bus Advertising' mob aren't so bad after all!

Well I did spot a Scania on the bricks at Tuggeranong with what looked like an ad, but wasn't sure at the time.

I've seen 2 Scania's (not including 337) with the Dick Smith advert on the rear plus a Dart from with the same ad also....I'll check tomorrow if 337 has been done.

Definitely NOT on 337, but I can confirm that 363 has it on rear window...

Ah, I was one number off then!

Saw another advert on a Scania today (rear window) - for some new rag trade shop in Monaro Mall/Canberra Centre called Maros or Marcs or something similar...

It's for 'Marcs'. I was sitting behind 133 in Woden this arvo and it had the ad on the back window.

One Scania is also getting around with some wine company ad (not Kamberra).

The Scania's now getting ads, wouldn't have to do with some time thing recently expired? I don't know what it could be

I saw an Iris with an ad on the back (didn't see the fleet number) for Brindabella Christian College this afternoon in Civic. Ad was a little small for the back though - full back ads would be easy on these buses, due to the absence of a window

Quite a few Iris's had BBC rear ad's. They seemed to disappear while the ad company changed over though.

Does anyone know the significance of the Bardot ad on some of the PR3's? My own thought is the group called Bardot fit right into the description for a PR3-hunk of junk.

Bardot is a clothing label

What's so wrong about the .3s? They're not so bad... compared to the Darts and Irises

Irises are good for doing what the good City Interchange Clipper does (hands across the doors so no one else is allowed on). But besides the squished driver cabin, I've grown to like them.

Darts are the same, but they don't have the ad.

What the hell is a city interchange clipper?

I think he's referring to those people who stand there with the portable validator
Title: Re: Spotted: Actual advertising on a Scania!

Exactly, the new one at Woden calls himself that. Also the portable validator is called "Miss Piggy"

As far as I am aware, they are referred to as a 'Clippy'. That is an old Nickname for Conductors as they used to clip tickets.
Title: Re: Spotted: Actual advertising on a Scania!

Yes Todd we already have discussed that in person.

Still, no one calls them a clipper, it's just a guy with a validator on wheels.

361 has a rear ad too.
