How much does a bus T-side cost in Manchester?
T-side cost depends on the number of buses, the route and the campaign length. Mega T-sides are usually priced above standard T-sides because they offer a larger canvas.

A standard T-side sits on the side of the bus and gives brands strong street-level visibility. A Mega T-side is a larger version offering even greater visual impact on key routes.
