New York, United States, 22nd Dec 2025 – Plug Talk Media has released a reference guide detailing transit advertising costs across multiple formats and markets. The guide provides cost benchmarks for bus wraps, interior transit cards, metro displays, and transit shelter placements to assist media planners in budget development.
The publication presents cost estimates based on the company’s analysis of typical U.S. urban markets. According to the guide’s research, full bus wraps typically range from $5,000 to $25,000 per unit monthly, while side and rear panels range from $800 to $5,000 monthly. Interior cards are estimated at $100 to $500 per month. The guide notes that actual costs vary by market size, campaign duration, and placement volume.
The guide breaks down total campaign investment into five components: media buying (typically 60-80% of budget based on the company’s market observations), production and printing, installation and removal, creative development, and maintenance. Additional factors affecting bus advertising and other transit format costs include city density, commuter traffic patterns, seasonal demand, and creative complexity.
“This guide consolidates pricing data and planning variables that transit advertisers typically encounter across U.S. markets,” said Shawn Miles, Chief Strategy Officer at Plug Talk Media. “Our goal is to provide media planners with structured cost benchmarks and key considerations for transit campaign development.”
The guide is available at plugtalk.media and covers advertising formats including buses, metro systems, taxi fleets, transit shelters, and airport shuttles across urban environments.
