Bus body advertising costs in Hong Kong — 2026 price guide.
A wrapped double-decker is a moving billboard that covers the whole city. This guide breaks down Hong Kong bus body advertising costs by format — full wrap, super-side, half-side and rear — across KMB, Citybus and Long Win, plus what drives price and how to brief a wrap.
Why bus body advertising works.
Hong Kong's bus network reaches roughly four million daily riders and, unlike a fixed billboard, a wrapped bus travels through multiple districts every day — Central, Causeway Bay, Mong Kok and across the harbour. You pay once and the ad covers the city.
Buses also offer a rare combination: large-format visual impact at a fraction of spectacular-LED cost. That makes them a workhorse for launches, FMCG, telecom and entertainment briefs.
Bus advertising formats and what they cost.
From full wraps to rear panels, each format trades coverage against budget:
Bus body advertising price table.
Indicative 2026 rates, media cost only. Production for a full wrap is additional and varies by design.
Cross-harbour and Hong Kong Island routes command a premium over New Territories routes. Multi-bus fleets are quoted per unit with volume discounts.
What affects your bus ad cost.
Four levers move the final number:
- Format. Full wraps cost 3–4× a rear panel but deliver far more impact and social shareability.
- Route. Cross-harbour and Island routes through Central and Causeway Bay cost more than suburban routes.
- Duration & fleet size. Longer runs and multiple buses lower the per-unit rate.
- Production. Full-wrap printing and fitting is a separate line item from media.
Bus body advertising — FAQ.
How much does a full bus wrap cost in Hong Kong?
A full double-decker wrap typically costs HK$80,000–120,000+ for four weeks, plus production. Premium routes and longer runs cost more.
What is the cheapest bus advertising format?
Rear panels from around HK$25,000 for four weeks are the most affordable, followed by half-side panels.
Which is better — KMB or Citybus?
It depends on your routes and audience. KMB has the largest fleet and widest coverage; Citybus is strong on Hong Kong Island and cross-harbour. We plan across both.
Does the price include production?
Media and production are usually separate. Full-wrap printing and fitting is quoted on top of the media rate, based on your design.
