Growing audience
Always On
You can’t miss it
You don't have to "turn it on", "tune in", "dial it up" or "turn over the
page" to see it…..IT’S ALWAYS ON
Buses are valued and part of the community
Buses are valued and part of the community
“There’s always a
bus, isn’t there,
everywhere you go.”
“The bus is public
transport, so an advert
on a bus is like a public
advert for everybody.”
“If the bus is travelling
around, it gets you wider
publicity, getting more
people to notice.”
“They bring
people into the
community.”
“Whether you’re on it
or behind it, or see it
alongside you, or
have to cross the
road in front of it, it is
interacting in your
life.”
74% of people in the regions agree that buses
are an important part of the community, giving businesses who advertise on
buses a positive relationship with the local population

More movement, more interaction
“Why wait for the
customers to come to your
advert when your advert
can come to them? Mobile
media will reach more
people than static forms.”
“A Bus is a moving
advertising board, it
travels across town,
so loads of people will
see it.”
