Free Transit Advertising – No Really FREE!

Ken Black — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 16:01:20 +0000

What works better than transit advertising for reaching the masses in your market? Not much – think about it. Maybe newspaper – no that’s not reaching many anymore. How about a radio or TV station? Although they continue to reach many it doesn’t compare to the actual reach of 20 moving billboards that are rolling in your market up to 21 hours each day. Pretty much the only thing I can think of that beats Transit Advertising is….Free Transit Advertising!

Metro Rolls Out Monster Buses

The Cincinnati Business Courier posted a story today detailing the new accordion style buses Metro of Cincinnati is rolling out to be a part of their fleet. Advertising Vehicles had the pleasure of doing the production work on all of the bus wraps.

Have you seen those new Metro buses? Strike that, because of course you have. You can’t miss these monsters.

Metro recently rolled out five new articulated, or “accordion” buses that will help with the loads on Metro’s busiest routes.

They add capacity and improve productivity, Metro says, because they hold 50 percent more riders at about the same cost as a regular bus.

Those busy routes? Route 43, Route 45 and Route 47 in the Reading Road corridor.

“The articulated buses are workhorses,” said Marilyn Shazor, Metro’s CEO. “This is especially important now as we try to stretch every dollar to serve as many customers as possible with a smaller budget.”

240-Foot-Long Snake Terrorizes I-275 Motorists Near Cincinnati, OH

Advertising Vehicles — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 16:27:15 +0000

On April 1, 2009 at around 1:30 PM, motorists from Hamilton and Warren counties began reporting sightings of a 240-foot-long snake making its way Eastbound across I-275 and up I-71. This was no horror movie monster, but instead an innovative promotion launched by King’s Island ( http://www.pki.com ) to promote its new Diamondback roller coaster. Six Metro buses were wrapped to form a giant snake and driven in formation across I-275 from Forest Park to King’s Island.
