Content Creators, TikTokers, Influencers, now have a dedicated bus to produce their content while on-the-move in Lincoln, the bus is thought to be the first of its kind in the world, making it possible for Influencers to continuously produce content without having to put their phone down.

The bus will have around 8-booths, each booth taking up the equivalent of 4 bus seats, and is equipped with all the tools an Influencer needs to produce content including:

  • High speed 5G Wi-Fi,
  • 360-degree adjustable lighting that allows the Influencer to control the brightness and warmth of the lights,
  • A tripod to attach up to 3 phones,
  • 5 USB charging ports,
  • A mirror to monitor their appearance during filming,
  • And a 'recording in progress' light-up sign to alert others around them to be respectful and quiet when the sign is illuminated.

To make for a brilliant backdrop, the bus route will travel around historic Lincoln including stops at Lincoln Cathedral, Lincoln Castle, and the famous blue railway pedestrian crossing bridge which connects St Marys Street to Tentercroft Steet.

But if those landmarks isn't enough for the Influencer, then they can instead opt to slide down a greenscreen at their booth for their own custom background.

Green screens are available on the bus for your custom background.

The bus is open to anyone to travel with a normal single ticket towards Lincoln Castle costing just £2, or £8.50 for an Influencer Booth.

If buying an Influencer Booth ticket, you get access to a booth and its facilities for the duration of the trip from the Lincoln Bus Station to Lincoln Castle.

There are no minimum followers or likes required to get an Influencer Booth ticket which is perfect if you are just starting out on your Influencer career.

A spokesperson for the bus company in Lincoln said “every year we have more and more demand from TikTokers, content creators, and influencers to facilitate their content creation while on the move”.

“We are delighted to finally start meeting this demand and hope to welcome our first TikTokers shortly”.

“If demand continues to increase, we may look to replacing up to 40% of our fleet with Influencer Buses to meet demand.”

“We fully expect that in a few years nearly all of our seating on our fleet will be replaced by Influencer Booths.”

Excited to try out the new TikTok / Influencer Bus? The bus operates every 20 minutes from the Lincoln Bus Station. On timetables and information screens, lookout for the service 'APRFLS'.
