Unibus, part of Go South Coast-owned Morebus in Bournemouth, has launched a giant boombox bus in a collaboration between Unibus, Arts University Bournemouth (AUB) and branding agency Creative Forager.
The Boombox bus, an ADL Enviro400 MMC, is the brainchild of AUB and Creative Forager, and is designed to show how creativity can transform familiar surroundings and give people a fresh perspective.
Recently unveiled, the wrapped double-decker bus has bass speaker cones for wheels, a tape deck between its windows and is covered with more than 80 dials, switches and speakers. The long top window takes the place of an AM/FM radio display.
Unibus is the result of a partnership between Morebus, Bournemouth University and AUB. It provides specially-designed university bus routes in and around the town.
“The boombox bus is an excellent way for us to demonstrate the innovation and creativity of students studying here in Bournemouth,” said Andrew Wickham, Managing Director of Unibus.
“We’re delighted to be showcasing these impressive talents and are looking forward to seeing the reaction of those travelling with us in the region.”
The boombox bus will operate across Unibus routes for a year.
