Discussion of advertising on CCTA buses (wrapped buses): Mr. Mazur said CCTA is receiving advertising revenue for "wrapping" the buses in advertising. There is no cost to CCTA except to install the wraps. There have been some complaints about this including the concern that this darkens the buses and makes it hard to see inside. Some people also feel that buses have become rolling advertisers. The City Council felt that there is an adequate screening process for the advertising. 4.
