iconic Brighton & Hove double decker bus, painted by Jason McQuillen, Brighton United Kingdom
‘North Laine’ bus The North Laine theme bus is the first of 3 special themed buses to promote Brighton and Hove Buses. This art bus was painted by Jason McQuillen (aka ‘iownthisart’ ) The black and white theme was carried through to the exterior as well as fully in the interior of the bus. There is a full vinyl wrap exterior, with both decks having art on the ceilings, multicoloured lighting, new cobblestone vinyl floors and new moquette covered seats, as well as a fully wrapped staircase surround. This provided lots of interior design challenges as apart from the aesthetic brief, strict VOSA regulations and DDA guidelines are in place for the safety of passengers. The Brighton Fringe adopted the bus as both a venue and dedicated transport for the 2015 festival. The bus is part of the regular fleet for Brighton & Hove and is still used on all routes in the city, promoting and celebrating the role of the bus in Brighton’s creative and cultural life. The second bus in the ‘Get Bus(y)’ series of artist-designed buses was the “beach” bus and was launched in July ’ third and final bus in the series was ‘South Downs’ themed and was launched in August ’15.
