    Should be fine, for a bus shelter ad you won't need a 300dpi quality photo for that size anyway.
    I just did some largescale banners (1.5m high) and I used a 1meg photo for one of them. I increased the resolution in ps and then treated the image by adding noise and some blur to silmulate grain of an older photo. Looks fine.

    Or you could look at using Livetrace in illustrator and setting the settings really detailed, so you have an almost photographic vector image which can then be scaled to you heart's content
