I find it cool that anime convention ads don't really look out of place on buses these days.

An old bus sporting an ad promoting a new Late-night show, hosted by Stephen Colbert, that was set to premiere that September.

10 years later, that late-night show is set to be cancelled next year for extremely dubious reasons.

I think it's a bit silly that the MTA is heavily abbreviating bus destination signs thanks to the new Queens bus redesign coming up in the summer.

This one just shortens the neighborhood name without indicating where exactly it'll terminate.
