The multimedia can be stored on the vehicle and transmitted using one of a plurality of transmission devices to a plurality of video graphic display devices located in the transit vehicles. The broadcast can also be wirelessly transmitted via predetermined FM or wireless frequencies for receipt via passenger radios, laptop computers including wireless connection, cell phones, or any other device capable of receiving the FM or wireless transmission of multimedia. The multimedia data can include graphics, text, audio, video, or any combination thereof.
