Reading Transport MegaSides

www.buszone.co.uk

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.
