  2. verified

    Those 2025 format totals correspond to shares of 71.1% billboards, 17.8% transit, 5.2% street furniture, and 5.9% place-based media.

  3. verified

    OAAA reported transit as the fastest-growing format in 2025, increasing 9.2% year over year.

Transit can include media on vehicles and inside stations or airport environments. Those placements do not share one universal dwell pattern or audience method.

Transit’s 9.2% year-over-year growth made it the fastest-growing format in the cited 2025 release, while its revenue share remained below billboards.

Route, station, direction, service schedule, dwell and duplication can all affect how an audience estimate should be interpreted.
