The Big Lemon operates a public bus service serving the campuses of the University of Brighton.  The majority of our passengers are students, allowing for well-targeted advertising campaigns.  We carry approximately 500 individual passengers a week, most of whom use the bus on a regular basis.  The buses are on the road between 8am and midnight five days a week, enabling a consistent communication of your message.  (To have a look at the bus timetable please click here.)  We advertise on the back of the bus, on bus tickets, and on A3 posters placed at the front of the bus for all to see.  There is only one poster space on each bus so your ad is guaranteed to be the only one on display at the time.
