This London Routemaster bus is being used to ferry visitors to Japan's Expo 2005 between the Expo site and the centre of Nagoya. This Routemaster has been painted with the logo and colours sponsors PCA Asset Management Ltd, Japanese subsidiary of Prudential plc.

No longer considered good enough to operate on the streets of their home city, decommissioned Routemasters are increasingly being put to use all over the world at special events or for product promotion, like this one.
