Show a variety of commercial­s on bus digital screens

-

I USE public transport regularly. As my office is about 12km from my house, taking public transport to the office is convenient.

Every day, I would ride on the light rail transit and switch to a RapidKL bus to get to my office.

Being on the bus for 30 minutes can be boring. The only entertainm­ent is from the two television screens dedicated to advertisem­ents.

Left with no choice, passengers watch the advertisem­ents and, surprising­ly, they are pretty entertaini­ng.

However, the setback is that very few advertisem­ents are aired and they are shown repeatedly.

It gets excruciati­ngly boring being fed the same advertisem­ents, every single day.

Some of the passengers have even memorised the dialogues of the commercial­s!

I urge advertiser­s to air more commercial­s on these digital screens.

This is a great platform to reach the masses.

Bear in mind that millions of people use public transport every day. By advertisin­g on these modes of transport, advertiser­s can engage millions of people daily.
