The inevitable has happened with one of the buses advertising the Red & Blue lines halifaxbusphotos.fotopic.net/p50529440.htmlThis is particularly bad when it is a commercial advert. A company pays for an advert which for 90% of the contract is incomplete I can think of 2 ways to solve this problem when windows get broken - Make sure the depot has another copy of the advert available to patch it up with or - Make contravision out of a toughened material, which stops windows getting broken? |

No, thats a window replacement leaving a gap in the route branding.
Thats the problem with putting anything over the windows, ether route branding or adverts. All is well till one of the windows is broken and replaced.
Huddersfield based Eclipse Urban 66741 carries an advert for the punctuality of the buses in Huddersfield covering half the bus top to bottom. It was recently operating with half this advert missing due to it having had windows replaced. Its taken a while for it to gain back the bits of the advert that where missing.
Route branding is worse. Whats the point of having it all over the windows only for it to have windows replaced but never having the branding re-done. It leaves a bus carrying incomplete route branding which is useless for everyone.

I know what you mean, although just about everybody predicted this would happen with route branding for the Red/Blue Line. Saw one of the B9TLs earlier with the prices for the weekly tickets missing off the rear. I've also noticed on some of the Gemini's that part of the white circle listing the route numbers on the side windows is missing. Sort it out First!

Well, I'd say that the branding looked stupid and unappealing anyway.
Who really cares that 12 + 13 +13A = blue line?
In many cases, it means nothing to the unsuspecting passenger.
Looks even worse now, wait until it has even more gaps, that will truly be the icing on the cake.
