Signage has been prevalent in the transportation industry for years, such as airport, train station, bus stop, ferry, etc. Compared to traditional printed signage, digital signage is proven to effectively get more travelers’ attention with vivid contents and becomes a practical marketing platform for advertisers in public transportation areas, since passengers need to kill time while they are waiting.
Broadcasting safety instructions and live, frequently changing information with minimum human involvement is also one major advantage of digital signage. For example, digital signage in the airport can convey updated flight schedules and wayfinding information to travelers so that they can find their destination swiftly and, furthermore, enhance travel experience.
Airport
Digital signage network can be used to convey updated flight information, announcements, and emergency messages at the boarding gate, check-in counter, and other public spaces inside the airport. Retail shops, restaurants, baggage claim areas, and boarding gates in the terminal also provide a good platform for advertisers to promote their products and brand image.
Taxi
Screens, installed behind the driver’s seat, can be used for advertising. With GPS, advertisements can be run depending on your current location. Entertainment content, such as TV, news tickers, maps, weather, tourist information, etc. can increase passengers’ satisfaction.
Bus

Ferry and Cruise
