BusPing helps local businesses reach people at the exact moment they're delayed, nearby, and deciding what to do next.
Limited sponsored placements are available by town, route, stop area, business category, and campaign length.
Most online ads appear while people are scrolling. BusPing sponsored placements appear when passengers are actively checking a route, waiting at a stop, reporting a delay, or deciding what to do next.
Passengers open BusPing when they are waiting, delayed, checking a route, or making a backup plan. That is a rare moment of genuine local intent.
Placements can be shown around specific towns, routes, stop areas, or relevant waiting moments. Your message reaches the right people, in the right place.
Sponsored cards are clearly labelled and designed to feel like helpful local suggestions. Not random pop-ups, not banner noise. Relevant placements passengers may actually want to see.
If your business serves people near bus stops, town centres, colleges, high streets, commuter routes, or transport hubs, BusPing can help you reach passengers at a relevant moment.
BusPing does not rely on intrusive pop-ups. Sponsored placements are designed to sit naturally inside useful app moments, when passengers are most likely to notice and act on a nearby suggestion.

Shown after someone reports a no-show, delay, full bus, drove-past, or wrong live time — when they're looking for an alternative.
Shown lower down near route results or local travel context, relevant to the route or stop area being checked.
Shown in local sections of the app beneath useful bus information, visible to passengers browsing nearby routes and stops.
Placements may be available by town, route, stop area, business category, or waiting moment. Campaign lengths are designed for sustained local visibility.
Availability is limited so BusPing stays genuinely useful for passengers and uncluttered for sponsors. We keep the number of placements low by design.

BusPing is designed to help passengers check before they wait. Instead of filling the app with random banner ads, BusPing uses clearly labelled local sponsored cards from businesses that may be useful nearby. That is the deal: useful for passengers, visible for local businesses, free for everyone.
BusPing is and will remain free for everyone who uses it to check buses and send reports.
Every sponsored placement is labelled so passengers always know when they are seeing paid local sponsor content.
Sponsor slots are limited and placed around relevant local moments. Not bulk banner advertising.
BusPing is launching first around West Midlands routes, with more areas planned over time. Early local businesses can enquire about available towns, routes, and launch placements before wider sponsor slots open.
We'll reply with available placements, campaign options, and current launch availability in your area. No commitment required.
