Three Ways to Advertise on the Blazer Express
Ad Cards Inside Buses
Share your message with a captive audience of bus passengers on their commute across 100+ square blocks of UAB’s campus and special events like Blazer Game Days and The World Games 2022. Each Blazer Express bus features 20 ad cards positioned above the interiors and windows on the left and right sides of the bus. Purchase one ad card on a select number of buses or create high impact messaging with a series of cards on multiple buses.

Pricing Examples
Example 1: My student organization is hosting an event in two months and would like to run one ad card on six buses for one month.
- $125 × 6 ad cards × 1 month = $750
- Total Cost: $750 + $35 service fee + 10% student discount = $706.50
Example 2: My program wants to run one ad card on all 14 of the Blazer Express buses for three months. We also want to do one side panel poster combo at Bus Shelter 1.
- $125 × 14 ad cards × 3 months = $5,250
- $1,000 × 1 poster combo × 3 months = $3,000
- Total Cost: $5,250 + $3,000 + $35 service fee = $8,285
Example 3: My research study wants to run ten ad cards on one of the Blazer Express buses for 12 months.
- $125 × 10 ad cards × 12 months = $15,000
