Megabus
As we revealed a couple of weeks ago, Megabus has gone for revised branding. The fleetname has been shortened from Megabus.com to Megabus and a ‘making travel simple’ strapline. As we exclusively announced there is no sign of ‘Sid’ whose iconic image is slowly being removed from Megabus vehicles as they are repainted and rebranded.
