Uploading Photos: Best Practice

Good photos make BusOva more useful. Here’s how to upload images that help identification and keep the database clean and respectful.

What makes a useful BusOva photo

• Sharp, well-lit image (avoid heavy blur)
• Bus clearly visible (not blocked by poles/traffic if possible)
• Front/side/rear angles help identification
• Destination display and fleet number visible where possible

Cropping & quality

• Crop so the bus is the focus (but don’t cut off key identifiers).
• Avoid extreme compression; keep the original quality if possible.
• If your watermarking is enabled, keep important details away from corners.

Attribution & respect

• Only upload photos you took or have permission to share.
• Don’t upload private information beyond what’s already public on the vehicle.
• Avoid photos that encourage unsafe behaviour (standing in roads, etc.).
