A MegaSide is an advert covering the whole of one side of a
bus with contravision over the windows.
This definition, and the one below for
MegaPanels is not definitive, but has been adopted by this site until a specific
definition becomes widely used by everyone.
By contrast:
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 MegaRear is an advertising livery that covers the whole of the back of a bus with
contravision parts over 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.
This page contains details about all of the MegaSide adverts that have been applied to
Reading Buses.
