Why it works

Why Train Stations.

Best for

  • Events
  • Recruitment
  • Retail offers
  • Brand stories
  • People wait and pass through.

    Platforms and concourses hold people who are waiting, reading or scrolling.

  • The same people every weekday.

    Commuting is routine, so the same riders see your ad again.

  • Tall boards at eye level.

    Station boards are mostly portrait panels placed where people stand.

More about this board type

If your audience works in a city, the chances are pretty high that they take the train into work (that is, if they're not driving or taking the bus). These boards are typically on the concourses of major train stations in most cities, as well as being on-platform for those stations that consist of an underground component.

When commuters pause, your message lands. Train station screens capture people in transition; waiting, reading, scrolling, absorbing. Perfect for events, retail offers, recruitment, and brand stories. Run hyper-local campaigns in specific stations or scale region-wide with a few clicks.

I have access to quite a few of these train station boards all over the world, and you can get your ads up on any of them with a CAASie.co account. So go ahead and make one.
