Why You’ll Love This Gig

Enjoy regular work with the flexibility to fit your schedule!

You’ll receive ongoing photography assignments — some weeks might be quieter, others a little busier — perfect for those who like variety.

Each shoot comes with a clear brief, including bus numbers, ad placement details, and reference images, so you’ll know exactly what you’re capturing.

No need to be a pro editor; we just ask for simple touch-ups like slight exposure adjustments and cropping to make the ad stand out clearly.

What You’ll Be Doing

When you’re offered a job, you’ll reach out to your local depot to find out when the bus will be at a nearby station or shopping centre — then plan your shoot day!

Head to the location, wait for your bus to arrive, and capture crisp, high-quality shots of the ad in action.

We love seeing people in the frame, and ask for at least three different angles and around 10 images per bus or campaign. The bus will usually pause for a few minutes, giving you time to get creative.

Once you’ve got your shots, simply upload them to a link we can access and send through your invoice — easy!

What We Require:

Professional Camera

No need for high-end gear — just clear, sharp images beyond what a phone can capture. A basic DSLR or mirrorless setup is perfect. Beginners are welcome; pros, even better!

Wide Angle Lens

A wide-angle lens (around 16–55mm) is your best friend. Capturing a full bus ad on anything tighter than 35mm can be a real challenge.

Business Basics

You’ll need a valid ABN so we can process your invoices quickly and smoothly.

Professionalism & Reliability

Be punctual, communicative, and quality-focused. We partner with depots across Australia and work with thousands of brands — professionalism makes all the difference.

Examples of On-Road Images

Audience in Focus

Capture real engagement; shots where viewers are clearly noticing or interacting with the ad in their environment.

High-Impact Locations

Feature your ad where the energy is high; stations, stops, and hotspots that show strong commuter or foot traffic.

Attention in Motion

Highlight ads surrounded by the hustle; vehicles in traffic or near intersections where visibility is key.

Creative That Speaks

Ensure the brand message is readable and crisp; no glare, blur, or obstructions. Let the design do the talking.

On the Move

Show the ad in its natural habitat; in motion, on the open road, bringing the brand to life as it travels.

Taxi Takeover

Spotlight branded taxis in real-world settings; cruising city streets, picking up passengers, or waiting at ranks.

Why work with GoTransit?

We collaborate with the top brands and local legends to deliver eye-catching campaigns across Australia, and we can’t do it without our contractors. Expect opportunities across all major metro areas and regional areas with clear communication and fair timelines. We treat our contractors with the same level of respect and professionalism as our in-house team because without you, the wheels won’t turn (sometimes literally).
