Advertising on the Back of Buses Transport Media: 0208 108 4984 Media Agency Group: 0208 003 2932 For best coverage they suggest adverting on 20% of buses in any particular area and they normally offer a 4 week minimum period. As an example: if there are a total of 1,000 buses operating in an area then advertising on 20% would be 200 buses at an average cost of £95 per bus. This price can vary and they do offer special deals to fill any gaps at quieter times. Price also includes printing and installation. Royal Mail Leaflet Distribution 0345 266 0858 For each postcode sector of 3,000 or less addresses the cost is £200 + VAT for an A4 or A5 one page leaflet.
