Cherriots Launches Bus-tache November (Photo) - 10/30/25

Ride the bus, Rock a ’Stache, Raise Awareness

Salem, OR – October 30, 2025 – Beginning November 1, Cherriots is inviting riders and community members to join Bus-tache November, a lighthearted campaign supporting men’s health while building community engagement and highlighting the importance of public transit. 

Additionally, we are proud to partner with No Shave November to support cancer awareness and education. No-Shave November began in 2009 with the heartfelt and bold idea of growing hair to start conversations and fund cancer research. It quickly became a nationwide movement uniting people through purpose and facial hair

The idea is simple: riders and community members are encouraged to take a selfie with a mustache – real, drawn, or stickered – while riding or near a Cherriots bus. Share your photo on social media, tag Cherriots, and use the campaign hashtags #BusTacheNovember and #CherriotsIsBussin.

How to Participate:

1. Choose Your ’Stache Type:
    

   • Grow a ’Stache (classic No-Shave style)
      

   • Draw a ’Stache (marker, eyeliner, face paint)
      

   • Sticker ’Stache (mustache stickers and temporary tattoos available at Cherriots Customer Service, 220 High Street NE, Salem)
      

   • Throwback ’Stache (permanent ink from the 2010s)
      

2. Must-Dash Challenge:
    

   • Snap a selfie on a bus or at the transit center showing your ’stache.
