Put Your Business in Front of Daily Commuters Every Time They Ride
Every day, thousands of local commuters, university students, and healthcare professionals text MetroSMS for bus arrivals. Place your brand at the top of their arrival alerts with targeted corridor sponsorships.
Why Transit SMS Delivers Unmatched Local ROI
Unlike social media ads that get scrolled past or web ads lost to ad-blockers, SMS arrival alerts hold the rider's immediate, undivided attention.
Hyper-Local Route Corridor Matching
Target passengers specifically boarding along your street. A cafe in Nob Hill sponsors Central Ave ART buses; an urgent care clinic sponsors the Hospital corridor.
Captive Dwell Attention
Commuters check transit schedules multiple times while walking to the stop and waiting for their ride. Your custom promotional tag and link are front and center throughout their journey.
Superior Cost per Impression (CPM)
With CPMs between $19.20 and $25.60, MetroSMS corridor sponsorships deliver targeted high-intent local impressions at less than half the cost of roadside billboards or pay-per-click digital ads.

How Tenant & Corridor Sponsorship Works
1. Select Transit Agency (Tenant First)
Choose your target transit authority (e.g. ABQ RIDE Municipal Bus & ART Rapid). Each agency maintains strict data and corridor isolation with zero cross-tenant bleeding.
2. Select Route Corridor (Corridor Second)
Select route corridors strictly within that agency's operational boundaries. Review real-time availability and rate card pricing.
3. Customize Tagline & Launch
Craft your verified sponsor message and custom link. Once reviewed, your campaign delivers directly to commuters on that specific transit fleet.
