The Movember movement began in Australia in 1999, and has since spread worldwide. The symbol of the moustache to represent the movement has a backstory: “No-Shave November” encourages men to let their beards and moustaches grow out, so it seemed natural to incorporate the symbolism into Movemeber.
This year in November, the Japanese medical company Astellas Pharma has launched a Movember campaign, which in turn inspired Budapest Transport Company BKK – and thus the 4/6 trams have grown out their whiskers! Information posters have been placed at the stops to raise awareness of the importance of prostate cancer control and prevention.
