Exteriors (including wraps)

What is a cling: A cling is a plastic film that has been printed on and then laminated. The cling, using pressure activated adherents, is applied to the exterior of the vehicle.

How long do clings last: Clings can last up to one year in typical use, then they must be replaced.

Can an advertiser use any vendor for cling production: BT will be happy to give you a list of vendors that use recommended materials and guarantee both the product and lack of damage to BT vehicles.

What does a person receive when they pay for one month: They receive one cling, in one location, on one bus, for one month.

How many vehicles can a person advertise on: we limit exterior advertising signs to a total of (8) individual signs per advertiser per lease.

Can a certain bus with a certain cling always be on a certain route: No, the buses are randomly assigned to routes on a daily basis.

Is  there a guarantee that a certain bus with a certain cling will be on the road 100% of the time: No, buses are pulled for maintenance and repairs as necessary.

What happens if a cling is damaged during the paid lease period:  BT will replace the cling or have it repaired at our cost.

What's the difference between a wrap and a cling:  A cling is an advertisement that covers a specified area of the bus, and is limited in size.  A wrap on the other hand covers the whole bus (minus drivers area & front), and can depict more of a story.

How long will a wrap last:  Under normal circumstances a wrap can last up to five years.  However, the windows are only warranted for one year, so they would have to be replaced periodically.

What happens if a wrap is damaged during the paid lease period:  BT will replace the wrap or have it repaired at our cost.

What material is a wrap made out of:  The wrap is made out of a 3M product called ControlTac which has been developed for just such purposes.  The particular type of adhesive has "channels" to prevent air bubbles, and eases the process of applying the wrap.  The windows are a different product also by 3M, with "holes" cut in for visibility.  Both types of vinyl are coated with a laminate, which prevents the colors from fading.
