THE SPOTS
Set to a hip-hop track, two :30s—"Girlfriends" and "Mom and Child"—tout the value of Greyhound’s "super friendly fares." Buses are shown transporting passengers through a variety of settings: along the shore, to the countryside, over bridges and through towns. Whether it’s mom’s home cooking, a best friend’s wedding, visiting a newborn niece or the grandparents, the spots inform viewers, "Now you can get there for a lot less than you think." The tag: "Go Greyhound and leave the driving to us."
Spots broke in June.
