Advertising

In 2009 Acne, a Swedish advertising company, built a coach bus using 50 wrecked cars. The construction resembling a real Flygbussarna coach bus was meant to encourage drivers to take the bus instead of driving their own cars, which would lead to less CO2 emissions. [1]

Acquisition

Vy acquired Flygbussarna from Transdev in March 2020. [2]
