Ride the Bus….Surf the Web!
Golden Gate Transit Testing Mobile Wi-Fi on Seven Buses
Golden Gate Transit is providing FREE INTERNET ACCESS on seven express buses (numbered 646, 691, 692, 693, 694, 695, 696) serving Route 72X and Route 75. Customers who bring along their laptop may connect to the Internet to check their email, work on the way to work or just surf the web. Access is completely free and provided under a demonstration program.
In just a few easy steps, a customer will be directed to a log-in page which will provide transit updates and news, before allowing access to the web. The mobile wi-fi equipment was purchased from Wandering Wi-Fi and includes content filtering software to prohibit access to offensive content and sites.
