Why Transit SMS Delivers Unmatched Local ROI

Unlike social media ads that get scrolled past or web ads lost to ad-blockers, SMS arrival alerts hold the rider's immediate, undivided attention.

Hyper-Local Route Corridor Matching

Target passengers specifically boarding along your street. A cafe in Nob Hill sponsors Central Ave ART buses; an urgent care clinic sponsors the Hospital corridor.

Corridor exclusivity guaranteed per daypart

Captive Dwell Attention

Commuters check transit schedules multiple times while walking to the stop and waiting for their ride. Your custom promotional tag and link are front and center throughout their journey.

Avg. 2–4 impressions per commuter trip

Superior Cost per Impression (CPM)

With CPMs between $19.20 and $25.60, MetroSMS corridor sponsorships deliver targeted high-intent local impressions at less than half the cost of roadside billboards or pay-per-click digital ads.

Starting from just $21 / day
