People queued to take part in a photoshoot and the chance of a starring role - on the sides of First Devon & Cornwall buses......(link below.)
http://thisisplymouth.co.uk/displayNode.jsp?nodeId=133464&command=displayContent&sourceNode=133158&contentPK=19563094&folderPk=78031&pNodeId=133174

More than 30 hopefuls turned up.

Those photographed received a ^5 travel voucher and the winners, who will feature on the side of the new-look buses, will get a year's free travel in Plymouth worth ^480.

...and the passengers will have their view obliterated by the photos being plastered over the windows (as they have done in Bath).

First has unveiled its Ugobus brand in Plymouth (link below.)
http://thisisplymouth.co.uk/displayNode.jsp?nodeId=133464&command=displayContent&sourceNode=133158&contentPK=20361580&folderPk=78031&pNodeId=133174

The company launched the scheme earlier in the week after radically redesigning 26 buses with images of city people.

A Plymouth band played live music on a newly branded open top bus and the 'bumble bee girls' also appeared at the unveiling in Royal Parade.

The design features two strap lines - It's Your Plymouth, to emphasise the local flavour of the First service, and wegowhereugo, which highlights the lifestyle element of bus travel.

First developed Ugobus in association with Bluestone Design, a creative design and marketing agency based in Derriford.
