Bus Wi-Fi

[Anonymous]

So just wondering how many other places offer Wi-Fi on their local bus services?

The Wi-FI service on Brighton & Hove buses is fab I have to say

That's a good idea and a natural move as it would mirror what London underground offers to their commuters for example.

I'm not too sure if the Train Company offers this either in Leeds !

I use BtBroadband so I can latch onto Hotspots and from other Bt Customers who allow a small amount of their bandwidth open to allow other Bt Customers to join as a guest to their routers.

I'm also fortunate to have Free city centre wide Wifi. We have sealed revamped telephone boxes in the centre that generates this Wifi.

Think I may wing an e mail to my Bus Company to ask if they intend to introduce this.

Out of all of the buses in Liverpool I think I have seen maybe 2 or 3 new buses with wifi on them.  I've never used it though.

Nothing on London Buses.

We have free wifi on tube platforms.

Which is good but you only really spend 5 (sometimes less) or so minutes waiting for a train. So of limited value. 

The bus companies dont even put the heating on in cold weather in order to save money.

So doubt they will shell out to install wifi.Unless they charge for it or put advertising on it.

The new milion pound Routemasters dont have any proper ventilation systems. (ie no air con) So wasnt expecting the bus designers to think about wifi!!!

WiFi on London buses is a great idea. Having it on the tube is pretty useless, unless it's to send a very quick text.

Seems promising, RV1 being one of the buses I sometimes get around the SouthBank.

Nope, no WiFi on buses in Teesside... (except the X{number} express buses to Newcastle,Sunderland or Durham)

And round my neck of the woods (outskirts), the last bus is around 6PM

Only trains with WiFi near me , is the Transpennine Express Manchester Airport train, 1st class coach only
