Public transport Wi-Fi Broadband to be made a reality
Free wireless broadband could possibly be installed in public transport present in Scotland, revelations say.
As part of this plan, buses and trains in the whole of Scotland will have WiFi installed as a means of encouraging more people to make use of public transport. If this venture is successful, it is hoped that the carbon footprint of the country will reduce due to less people using their own vehicles to go places.
A spokesperson on behalf of the Scottish government said that though the provision of wireless internet access on Scotland busses is a decision to be taken by the operators of that particular bus, the Scottish Government, via Transport Scotland, is in the process of making a business case for providing wireless internet on ScotRail services as a part of this agreement, which shall be presented in the near future.
The spokesperson continued by saying that they themselves were familiar with commuting to places daily and that they would be delighted to be able to do a bit of work or watch some TV in order to make the journey more pleasant. However, when looking at the very poor state of a large number of rail services, the spokesperson said, they would be more than grateful if the trains arrived at the particular stations punctually.
