I strongly dislike it when even the windows of a bus are covered by advertisements. While there may be small holes to see outside, it remains uncomfortable to sit inside. We do not need to adopt this „billboard culture“
Thank you, it also means the busses do not have a uniform color making them harder to spot. Even if it’s a “nice” ad it’s still an ad.
In my city, a foreign advertising form was allowed to put ads on buses (as well as billboards and street furniture) in exchange for operating an inexpensive share bike scheme. In 2021, they pulled the share bikes off the street because the far more expensive private un-docked escooter share schemes made more money for the Council. But they didn’t stop the advertising.
So now we get ads on our buses and blocking our footpaths, in exchange for nothing in return.
Capitalism disagrees with you wholeheartedly.
The Danish seem to be going harder on the anti-US consumerism (or whatever is the right word) than any other EU country. Good for them!
I wanted to verify this picture just to make sure, and found out that this is a mockup according to this source. Under the picture it says:
Her er en af de busser, der kommer til at køre rundt i Danmark de næste uger. På bussens dør ses en amerikansk cowboyhat ved siden af en dansk klaphat. Foto: Vestfyen Bryggeriet
translated:
Here is one of the busses that’ll drive around Denmark the next few weeks. On the side of the door is an American cowboy hat next to a Danish “clap” hat. Foto: West Funen Brewery.
Another note: It’s only 3 busses starting today, but apparently advertisements for another 27 busses has been ordered.
Thanks, edited the title
Apologies for being a bit pedantic, just wanted to point that the picture shown wasn’t on the road yet - but they are now! 😅
No worries!
even in the absence of the orange dictator, people should generally have locally produced and targeted goods. i hope this is the new status quo
I’m all for boycotting USian goods, but do you really have to represent us with that stupid hat?
busses
I bet they’re buses.
Fixed
Don’t drink this shit even if it’s made in your village
