Thirty TransLink buses will soon be wrapped in murals created by five Canadian artists.
Diyan Achjadi, Patrick Cruz, Rolande Souliere, Erdem Ta艧delen and Anna Torma worked with the theme, 鈥淗ow far do you travel?鈥�, TransLink said in a news release Friday.
The inside of the buses will also carry an interior display with messages offering an insight into each artist鈥檚 work.
The public art initiative, to be rolled out this month, is in partnership with the Contemporary Art Gallery in downtown Vancouver.
