San Diego Trolley Receives Sponge-Tastic Makeover to Celebrate SpongeBob SquarePants' 20th Anniversary

July is fast approaching, and that means two things: The 20th anniversary of SpongeBob SquarePants and the Comic-Con International: San Diego 2019!


To celebrate SpongeBob SquarePants's landmark 20th anniversary, Nickelodeon has commissioned a special SpongeBob SquarePants makeover for one of San Diego famous trolleys!

The skin features a yellow base background. One side of the trolley wrap features characters from Nickelodeon's beloved animated series, including SpongeBob himself, Patrick Star, Squidward Tentacles and Mrs. Puff, whilst the over side features SpongeBob's famous catchphrase, "I'M READY!". Finishing off the design is a special hashtag commemorating SpongeBob's anniversary, #HappyBirthdaySpongeBob.

The MTS trolley is already riding the tracks, so make sure to keep a lookout for it!
