Wi-Fi on local buses

by Phillip Barron

Triangle Transit is trying out a new program to offer passengers wireless internet access while riding a select few of the regional bus system’s routes.

Triangle Transit, in partnership with Verizon Wireless and RCS Wireless Technology, will be offering FREE Wi-Fi access on select vehicles (beginning Monday, Nov. 30th) for the next 60 days. The free Wi-Fi access will be available on select trips of the 105 route, as well as the 500/550 and 600/650 Express routes.  Please visit http://triangletransit.org/wi-fi to view a list of the select trips.



None of the routes listed by Triangle Transit are my usual routes, so I won’t be able to test out the wi-fi. Once the trial is live It’s live now, so if anyone can share their thoughts on it, please leave a comment.
