Bus Advertisements
Each day buses are rotated on one of 23 routes enabling more people to see the ads. CityLink buses travel daily using 58 vehicles over 7,000 miles in a 74 plus square miles area. More than three million rides are provided each year. This advertising catches the consumer on the road and can affect actual calls with unrivaled traveling power.



The full-bus advertising dominates the road wherever it travels. The business or organization does not have to share the space.

The king-sized sign is the most requested size of sign. It is 12 feet long. This sign makes a bold statement and is visible from a distance.

Interior signs are a perfect way to reach your customers as they travel.
