Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 7 May 2022 asking for information about a bus advertisement.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. Unfortunately we don’t hold the information you require. You asked: There are some adverts on London buses named emergingpakistan.com with two Pakistani brothers photos. As Pakistan’s government representatives said it is not government sponsored, can you please let me know who sponsored these adverts?

We don’t hold this information. All bus-side advertising is made through private commercial agreements between the Bus Operating companies (which are private firms operating services under a contract with TfL) and the advertiser or sponsor, and we are not involved in those commercial agreements.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.

Yours sincerely

Sara Thomas
