“Great cars”


‘Get a car;
don’t take the bus’

Isn’t that message implicit here? –
given how an advertisement about “great cars” was displayed on a bus in that way

At a more implicit level, that auto industry funded advertising also suggests that cars are a superior form of transportation

The photo was taken here in London, Ontario, Canada.  I since have noticed a different car advertisement on the back of a local bus, and yet another car advertisement on the side of a local bus.

In the past, I also have noticed car advertising in a Toronto area “GO Transit” station.
