A great way to gain exposure for your product or service is to advertise at bus stops. People have to wait until the bus arrives and do not have too much to do besides waiting. But also drivers and pedestrians get attracted by bus stop advertisements.

This month I have selected the most creative bus stop advertisements that make you look twice! View all bus stop advertisements after the jump.

1. Ikea


2. Ikea

3. Australian Post: Stamp


4. Fitness First


5. Guarana Antarctica


6. Apple: Macbook Air (Student work)

7. Mc Donald’s


8. Mc Donald’s: Free Coffee


9. Mc Donald’s: Open 24 hours


10. Pru Health: Oranges


11. Osram: Only use electricity when you need it.


12. Playstation 2

13. Quick Silver: Surfboard

14. Quick Silver skateboard


15. Simpsons: The Movie

16. Star Wars: Lightsaber

17. United Way Of Greater Milwaukee: Cardboard roof


18. Movie up: Balloons


19. The Victoria Bug Zoo: Look through bugs eyes

20. Hasbro: How does it feel to be involved in a crime


21. Simpsons: Marge’s hair

22. Nike: Bernard Lagat

23. 3M: Security Glass


24. McDonald’s: Wiener Platz

I believe I could find a way into that 3M Safety Glass to get the money! That is for damn sure!

Very cool! One exception: #14 (the skate ramp) doesn’t look real and I couldn’t imagine any advertising or transit company allowing that kind of liability risk!

That’s all well and good, until somebody on hallucinogenic drugs comes a stumblin’ by. Then all hell might break loose! Somebody on acid could figure out a crazy way to get that money!!!

What if you are having a bad day, and to make things worse you have to ride on a bus…oh yeah that’s nice to see your weight, that will buck ya right up!!!

Plus, the false hope that motionless staff at the McDonald’s gives you from afar, could potentially incite a bitter rage inside a fat person who’s already mad from the weigh-me bench!!!

Good stuff though!!

I love the 1st and 2nd ones. Just wait til someone steals the couches. But I love the Mac Book air one the best.

All of these are really superb examples of creativity. I think the one I would want at my bus stop would be the swing; that would make the waiting all the less irritating.

I like how the Fitness First does two things to make you healthier.
1. Shows the world how fat you are.
2. Forces you to stand so the world doesn’t see how fat you are.

Before District 9 came out, there were some very cool “Humans only” bus stops, complete with warnings from the fake government agencies about alien encounters, and no actual mention of the movie.

много яки рекламни решение, за съжаление в България няма да издържат и 1 ден, особено тази спирка на 3М с пачките пари

very nice advertisements, unfortunately in Bulgaria that kind of adverts are not possible, especially that bus-stop of 3M security glASS! :)

Looking at the 3M money advert, I notice it’s right in front of the entrance to an official-looking building; I wouldn’t be surprised if that was a police station. Even if it isn’t, it certainly looks like a location where anyone laying out thermite or attacking the glass with a jackhammer isn’t going to be doing so for very long… And, the money is probably fake.

Nothing may be farther within the truth. Printable Oakley coupons for example can be used to buy a particular item
in the actual store. All coupons must have a valid serial number.
