Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Public transport advertising has emerged as a key tool for promoting brand awareness, particularly in urban and peri-urban areas. In Bida LGA, Niger State, the use of buses, taxis, and other forms of public transport for advertising offers businesses a unique opportunity to reach a broad and diverse audience. According to a study by Olayemi and Bello (2023), public transport advertising is an effective medium for reaching consumers during their daily commutes, thus providing continuous exposure to brands. This form of advertising allows businesses to engage with local populations, including those who may not have regular access to digital media. This study explores the role of public transport advertising in creating brand awareness in Bida LGA, focusing on how this form of advertising impacts consumer recognition and recall of brands.
