The many benefits of advertising on Metro

The Right Audience: Transit Advertising brings your message to the most populated and desirable areas in the market — including many areas where billboards are heavily restricted. Ads on buses reach more of the Seattle market than those on billboards.
Amazing Value: Our bus ads cost less than most other advertising mediums, including television, radio, billboards and newspapers. You will reach the largest audience for the least cost. Transit advertising has the lowest Cost-Per-Thousand impressions.
Timing is Everything: Transit ads reach people when they're most ready to respond or make a purchase, such as when they're travelling or shopping.
Constant Exposure: Your ad will be seen 16 hours a day, every day and you'll reach a captive audience of motorists and pedestrians. Seattle's well-known stopped and slow moving traffic increase your exposure time, giving you a larger audience than ever before.
Get Noticed: With their bold text and larger-than-life graphics, transit ads are naturally suited to reinforcing the core awareness of your brand.
Add a Mobile Tags & Create a Call to Action: Transform your ad into an interactive experience! Get an instant response by adding a mobile tag, such as a QR Tag or MS Tag, to create a call to action for your campaign.
