A MegaRear is an advertising livery that covers the whole of
the back of a bus, often with contravision parts over the windows. In the past these
adverts have also been called SuperRears.
A MegaPanel is a large square advertisement roughly the same size as a MegaRear, but
applied to the side of a bus. Conventionally the advert is placed centrally, covers the
whole height of the bus and contravision is used at window height to allow passengers to
see out.
A MegaSide is an advertisement that covers one whole side of the bus including
contravision parts for the windows
A ColourBus is a whole advertisement livery that covers most of the bus, it is often
painted on, and may or may not involve putting contravision over the windows.
[The definitions of a MegaSide and MegaPanel above are not definitive, but have been
adopted by this site until a specific definition becomes widely used by everyone.]
