The bus features photos from the "Walk of Ideas", six giant sculptures on display in Berlin in the summer of 2006 representing the inventiveness and wealth of ideas in Germany. The bus will be running on various regular Metrobus routes Washington, DC, including Northwest, Downtown and Capitol Hill.
