This might be a cautionary tale for some other transit agencies out there.

"The city of Colorado Springs said Monday it is reviewing the advertising policies of Mountain Metro Transit after a local pastor was told his advertisements on bus benches in Colorado Springs would be barred if they use the name Jesus," reports Jake Allen.
The controversy arose after Lawson Perdue, a pastor at Charis Christian Center in west Colorado Springs, "said he was told if the name Jesus was allowed, hate messages would have to be allowed, too." Apparently the church had been advertising on transit benches in the city for the past three years, but when it came to negotiate a new contract, Mountain Metro Transit tried to implement the new policy.
The city has released a statement, quoted in full in the article, confessing that it "acted hastily" and is currently reviewing its advertising policy.
