Parents also visit schools and public institutions regularly.
There are also:

- pensioners interacting with pension offices
On a monthly basis, over 15,000,000 people access these institutions at least once.

Additionally, due to heavy traffic in locations such as airports, both Romanian citizens traveling abroad and those arriving or traveling domestically are exposed to these materials.
As a result, the total number of people passing through locations displaying InfoCons materials exceeds 180,000,000 people.
