Advertising on PennBus

Advertise your message on one of four Penn Buses in the heart of the Penn Campus, in University City, and through Center City. Create top-of-mind awareness for your business by targeting thousands of local consumers including Penn community, local residents, and business people.

Overview

Penn Bus advertising is easy and efficient:

  • Low cost advertising alternative with longevity
  • Large visibility of over 450,000 riders per year
  • Offers high frequency for repeat viewing and awareness
This is a great way to reach students, staff, faculty, residents, and commuters in University City and Center City.

There are two routes through the Penn Campus:

  1. Penn Bus West runs through University City, and
  2. Penn Bus East via Center City.
Both Penn buses stop at key locations on the Penn Campus such as 34th and Walnut Streets and 40th and Walnut Streets, to take Penn Card holders to their destinations.
