Wpgtransit11-25 and bus is coming 1965 are just being bus scrooges. I'm sure I'm not the only person who wants buses (whether it's Winnipeg or not) to look half decent, not lazy shit. Even if it's just a solid colour (not white), it's better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the reason no more stripes is it doesn’t well when they put ad wraps on the buses like vinyl on vinyl doesn’t work. How are we being Scrooge’s.

Doesn't make sense, as many other cities have no problems with wrapping decaled buses. 7 minutes ago, bus is coming 1965 said: They are only white cause it’s cheaper to paint.

The Destination Sign does show the colour of the line (Blue or Green box) Hopefully, we can get new Destination Signs that can display colour. NYC's Select Bus Service (SBS) does have Blue LEDs at the front and Amber on the side and Rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They vinyl stripes make it hard for the ad wraps to stick on the buses.
