Creative bus stop advertisements
Posted by Rindert Dalstra - Category: Ambient, CompilationsA 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.

But it’s a good article and again, thanks for sharing
ReplyAmazing work! Thank you for sharing..
ReplyI believe I could find a way into that 3M Safety Glass to get the money! That is for damn sure!
ReplyVery 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!
Replygreat stuff, thanks for sharing!
ReplyThat’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!!

ReplyI love the 1st and 2nd ones. Just wait til someone steals the couches. But I love the Mac Book air one the best.
ReplyAll 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.
ReplyNice one mate – thanks for sharing!
Replyawesom…jus great of u to hav shared this…..
ReplyAwesome photos! Thanks for sharing. I had only seen the security glass one before, but the other are neat too!
ReplyI like how the Fitness First does two things to make you healthier.
Reply1. Shows the world how fat you are.
2. Forces you to stand so the world doesn’t see how fat you are.
i would kill the one that said your weight.
but a lovely array of bench designs. defiantly love it

Replyexcellent this is all what i have in my mind and never does it…!!!

ReplyWhat a good idea!

Replycreativity at it’s best …..
ReplyBefore 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.
ReplyI liked the last picture, where is that bus stop I wonder.. =)
Reply@DrS are talking about something like that ?

ReplyAwesome I love the Starwars
ReplyGood job!
Replyмного 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!
Replythats very funny !!!
Replyvery innovative…keep the GOOD WORK GOING…….
ReplyThank you Vivek! We’ll sure do!
ReplyLooking 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.
Replyvery creative and funny!
Replyvery inspiring..
ReplyGreat stuff. It’s such a shame I never see anything like this in the UK.
ReplyLove it!
ReplyThese are fantastic. I stared at them for at least 20 min. I think the skateboard one is great and the scale… Nice list
Replythank you and if you need ‘fresh energy’ i have some thousends of ideas.
