The humble bus: so useful, so efficient, so under hyped.
But Go Transit, which serves metro Toronto, has done us all a service by creating a humorous homage to this urban transportation juggernaut in the same high-drama style of cliched car commercials.
“It’s like the self-driving car has arrived already and we saved you a seat.”
The ad is winning fan across the internet. It is a fan favorite on Reddit and Youtube, where it has about 750,000 views.
