What is Bus Shelter Advertising?

Bus shelters (also called Bus Queue Shelters or BQS) are one of the most affordable and effective outdoor advertising formats in India. They feature large backlit display panels typically measuring 4×6 ft or 6×4 ft, mounted at bus stops across cities.

Unlike large hoardings that target moving audiences, bus shelter panels target stationary audiences — people waiting 5 to 15 minutes at a bus stop — delivering longer dwell time and higher message absorption per impression.
