Coach, bus and taxiStudent marketing for coach, bus and taxi.
Students travel home all year, and take taxis home after nights out. Here is how coach, bus, airport and taxi brands reach them before they book.
Students travel home all year. Be the way they book.
Students travel home by coach and bus all year, and Christmas is one of the biggest trips home of the year. They fly home and away, and they take taxis home after nights out. Each trip is a choice between operators, often made on a phone a few hours before.
Many students live away from home during term: there were 47,600 purpose built student beds in the State at the end of 2025 (Sherry FitzGerald Research, February 2026), on top of private rentals. Every one of those students has a trip home to book.
Students on a budget compare on price and convenience. A poster on campus, with the route, the student fare and a QR to book, puts you in the comparison before it starts.

Can the posters name our routes from each campus?
Yes. We can version the artwork by campus, so each poster names the routes and stops that matter there.
Do you work with taxi and ride hailing apps?
Yes. Taxi apps fit the same model, with posters before the busiest nights out of term and a QR to download the app.
Can you place near student residences?
Yes, on approved boards and walls in the student neighbourhoods around campus, as well as on campus within each campus's rules.
Is the category exclusive?
Yes. One advertiser per category per city for each campaign window, so no competing operator in your category runs with us in that city at the same time.
