Pros

Widespread exposure: Transit advertising can reach a large and diverse audience, especially in urban areas with high public transportation usage.
High frequency: Commuters often see transit ads multiple times during their daily commute, increasing ad recall.
Extended viewing time: Ads on transit vehicles or in stations have a captive audience, as people wait or travel, leading to longer viewing times.
Visual impact: Large, eye-catching displays can make a strong visual impression and enhance brand recall.
Localized targeting: Transit ads can target specific areas within a city, useful for local businesses.
Impression of scale: Being seen on public transit can give the impression that a brand is substantial and well-established.
Versatile formats: There are various formats available, such as bus wraps, station posters, and digital screens, catering to different creative strategies.

Cons

High cost: Transit advertising can be expensive, particularly in major metropolitan areas with high public transit usage.
Limited targeting: It offers broad targeting, which might not be ideal for niche markets or highly specific audiences.
Potential wear-out: Commuters see the same ads repeatedly, which can lead to ad fatigue and diminished impact over time.
Regulation constraints: There may be restrictions on the content or placement of transit ads, limiting creative freedom.
Variable effectiveness: The impact can vary depending on factors like location, transit routes, and time of day, making it less predictable.
Maintenance issues: Ads on transit vehicles can suffer from wear and tear, graffiti, or weather damage, potentially diminishing their appearance.
Short-lived campaigns: Transit ads often run for limited time periods, requiring frequent updates and refreshes to maintain visibility.
