Advertising on public transport
Public transport vehicles can be considered one of the best advertising channels in Tallinn, as their routes cover the entire administrative area of the city.
The vehicles of Tallinna Linnatranspordi Aktsiaselts (TLT) offer an effective platform for advertising campaigns thanks to the massive number of contacts: We serve more than 100 million passengers a year. This means that interior advertising alone can create, on average, 24,000 potential advertising contacts per month per vehicle!
Attention! New orders for advertising on the outside of the rolling stock will not be accepted until at least September of this year.
During peak hours, Tallinna Linnatranspordi Aktsiaselts operates nearly 500 vehicles on Tallinn’s city routes, including 438 buses, 46 trams, and 32 trolleybuses.
There are a total of 71 bus routes in Tallinn, 5 active tram routes and 4 trolleybus routes. Last year, our vehicles covered more than 36 million route kilometers.
The total length of public transport routes operated by Tallinna Linnatranspordi Aktsiaselts is:
- for buses: 876 km,
- for trams: 32.7 km,
- for trolleybuses: 31.1 km.
To summarise:
- VEHICLE-MOUNTED ADVERTISING REACHES PEOPLE ON ITS OWN.
- THE NUMBER OF VIEWERS GROWS EVERY DAY.
- MULTIPLE CONTACTS RESULT IN HIGH IMPACT AND WIDE DISTRIBUTION.
- INCREASES DESIRE TO BUY.
- HIGHLY EFFECTIVE.
Advertising on buses, trams, and trolleybuses is a great choice for ads that target consumer groups who use public transport and which need to be disseminated rapidly to a wide audience.
For example:
- job advertisements,
- gatherings and cultural events,
- city information,
- various products and services.
Advertising stickers in the interior of a public transport vehicle
Interior advertising on public transport is placed where it is the most visible to passengers: above windows, on windows, or on billboards.
Advantages of interior advertising:
| extended exposure | – the average journey time in Tallinn is 12–18 minutes; |
| repeated readability | – passengers see the advertising texts several times during their journey; |
| value from repeat exposure | – many people travel the same routes repeatedly; |
| low cost | – generally cheaper than any other type of advertising; |
| wide audience | due to the changing routes, the advertising medium travels through different areas of the city, which increases the number of contacts; |
| demographic selectivity | public transport users generally consist of the same specific social groups. |
Advertising stickers on the exterior of a public transport vehicle
Exterior advertising is the most common sub-type of vehicle-mounted advertising, where special advertising stickers are affixed to the exterior of the vehicle and are thus primarily aimed at car users.
The number, location, time of display, etc. of the advertising stickers depends on the nature of the campaign and the wishes of the customer.

Full-coverage advertising and/or exterior advertising stickers on public transport form a separate media channel that can be used to convey both awareness-raising and persuasive advertising messages.
A bus, tram, or trolleybus fully covered with advertising is also suitable for long-term campaigns, and can successfully serve as the cornerstone of a reputation-building campaign.
