Free Wi-Fi boost for Dublin Bus passengers

ALL Dublin Bus passengers can now connect with the world outside their bus.

This follows the announcement that free wireless internet access for all passengers is now available across the company’s entire fleet of 917 buses.

The Dublin Bus free Wi-Fi service provides passengers with fast and reliable internet access on all journeys whether it’s a quick hop across the city or a longer commute into work.

Currently there are 400,000 journeys daily on Dublin Bus and passengers can access free wireless internet on their phone, tablets or laptops at the touch of a button.

The company began trialling free Wi-Fi on 10 routes in 2012 and now just two short years later the service has been rolled out to include every bus in the fleet. The roll-out of free Wi-Fi on all buses has been funded by the National Transport Authority (NTA).

To date, 540,000 customers have signed up to the service and have used it 7.4 million times.

Dublin Bus chief executive Paddy Doherty said the company is continually looking at ways of improving its service for passengers.

“We are pleased to say that the full fleet is now Wi-Fi enabled,

? said Mr Doherty.

“We hope this latest improvement will enhance the customer experience for our valued passengers.
