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.
