Transport for
West Midlands

Tripling targets by re-positioning bus travel with an arthouse twist.

To get more West Midlanders on board a bus, we needed to change perceptions of bus travel. So we presented a slice of life on wheels, packed full of inspiring reasons for people to ‘bus it’. The film was shot entirely in a single take, in distinctive black-and-white – a far cry from the classic advertising typically seen in the category. The campaign smashed targets, with 2.5 million additional journeys taken.
