Great!
not to mention UK
CANADA! THAT’S US! We’ll get those buses in Nova Scotia yet, you mark my words.
Vive la resistance!
Where in Australia is the bus going?
Yay CANADA indeed! Come on British Columbia….
It is not that known here in the Netherlands yet .. did not hear/read about it … but hey, I don’t have a newspaper subscription .. and tv .. oh well .. It is a bit weird though .. as I did not see busses with religious slogans on it so far either .. buss companies over here prefer to have their own name on it ..
The busses in the U.S aren’t really atheist. I’m going to contact some bus owners and see who will put atheist signs on their busses. There is going to be so much controversy over this specially here in the U.S. which is mostly christian based, and most are very cynical of other religions, and atheists.
Shame there is not one here in Denmark, but I guess everyone is still sorta jumpy after those cartoons..
I want this here in Ireland… whats the chances???
So I contacted around 10 local bus agencies and my plan didnt work out so much. 7 of them hung up on me, and 2 actually started yelling. only one stayed to chat for a minute or two before saying no. The one happened to be a non-believer but he thought it would drive people away from his business.
LOL. Good initiative, Aaris. I think you will have a better chance of getting somewhere if you go through an organisation, though. The British Humanist Assocation is running the UK ads, Freethought Assocation of Canada is running the Canadian ones. It’s really expensive to run these ads and the donation management takes a lot of work, and I think there are legal advantages to doing it with the help of a recognised non-profit.
http://www.atheistbus.org.uk/contact/ these guys might be able to help you out with finding a local contact.
http://www.secular.org/ these guys look like a good bet. They are linked to on the atheist bus website. It can’t hurt to talk to them.
The local campaign here really made a media stir although currently the ads have been kept off the buses, and most of the media stuff was handled by one ridiculously confident 18 year old. If he can handle that much press and keep his cool, you’re surely in with a shot. Even if you are not immediately successful, you might bring the issue into your local media, and open discussion is a big part of the campaign, right? Good luck.
