I can't help wondering what the Mormon Church elders in Salt Lake City think when they see Bart Simpson prominently displayed on the side of a UTA bus.

Transit managers, including John Inglish at UTA, more often than not tell me they prefer cleanpainted buses to all the crazy advertising wraps we see today. But it's hard for bottomline transit boards to turn down additional, often substantial revenue.

The wildest transit fleet belongs to Orlando's Lynx. Most of its buses are painted by Lynx-employed artists who love their work and their oversized canvasses.
