What do you think? Good/bad tactic?

I have a gut feeling that it is bad tactics.

In principle yeah, I think it's a good idea but, in London at least, I've seen these Ads on buses in London and I have a concern, a criticism if you wish.

The Ads, all those I've seen, appear on the two section single level buses and the Ads are ONLY on the driver side, rear section. Now maybe that's all the Ad organisers paid for but to my mind it means they've wasted their money because the Ads are low down and not particularly visible as they would have been on a double decker and to view them you need to be on the other side of the road and in London that means at least 1 stream (usually several) of traffic obscuring a decent view of the Ad.

I have some photos on my phone and I will upload and link to them as soon as I can, once I've figured out how to do it (doh!) but I have to say I was a little disappointed.
