This is a really cool idea.
Dublin Bus has done some really cool things with their designs in the past, and very often it’s for a good cause.
For example, their Pride Bus in celebration of Gay Pride was one of the most emotional campaigns we’ve seen this year.
This year at @DublinPride, we had the proudest bus in the parade, not because it had the most glitter or flags, because it had the proudest people, Proud Dads. Gwan ahead and warm the cockles of your heart. #DBPride #ProudDads pic.twitter.com/m4wNYMdiKs

Even now that video brings a tear to our eye…
But this time they’ve redesigned a Dublin Bus, and this time they’ve let kids do the artwork for it.
Children who submitted their drawings as part of the annual Children’s Art Competition were blown away to see their masterpieces cover a bus in its entirety on Thursday morning.
Have a look for yourself:

Watch out for our #DBCommunitySpirit bus across Dublin, which made 427 trips last year, bringing thousands of children on school trips pic.twitter.com/8EfYCPUmmM

Over 2,000 children from 25 primary schools entered this year’s competition which saw Susan O’Reilly from St. Canice’s Girls School, Finglas revealed as the overall winner.
We can only imagine that these children were delighted to see their work. Fair play to them!
Keep your eyes peeled for the bus, as it will be bringing school children on field trips in the forseeable future.
