Personally, I don’t think the percentage is quite that high. But you’re right. A lot of it is their own simply because they are aware of how precious that space is up there. Anybody dependant on public trasport will see the ads and quietly think “Yeah I should actually go the mall and get it”.

I believe thats the url. They do a mapping and timing service for ttc routes totally independent than ttc and its pretty darn efficient. Dave, it s valid point – have you heard of myttc.ca?

I think that all major cities should integrate their routes into a service many of us use to find directions. Maybe then they’ll increase ridership. While not directly related to advertising on the TTC I think this is something simple they could do. What is beyond me is how the TTC doesn’t integrate with Google Transit.

Its hardly enough to really on advertising but it seems like its the only viable solution time and again. I think the solution is more sophisticated ads – i know it sounds funny but like in Minority Report where they scan your eyes and then shoot out a targeted ad based on your information. Sounds scary, but not that far fetched. My First thought is good luck with that. Its hardly enough to really on advertising but it seems like its the only viable solution time and again.
