The Playstation Bus Stop Experience

Waiting for the bus is boring. That’s what Sony brought to the idea to sponsor bus stops and make them more enjoyable with their Playstation 2 ad campaign. This bus station in Malaysia features boards with bubble wrap with recognisable Playstation signs on it. Passengers can spend their time by popping the bubbles. We all like that, don’t we? I wonder how often the wrap at this busstation has to be changed. Pretty often I guess, but that’s business as usual, as bus are at the list of the 10 most vandalised public street items. Have a look at the benches to catch that point. For the lovers of bubble plastic, there is a little silly game behind this link.
