Wi-Fi free for all: NGV bus passengers get connected

Every traveller on Bangkok’s roads knows the pain of being stuck in the city’s traffic, especially bus commuters.

Thankfully, the Bangkok Mass Transit Authority (BMTA) has come up with a great way to ease the pain of bus trips: 550 air-conditioned NGV-fuelled buses will have free Wi-Fi from Saturday.

The BMTA has been working with Plan B media to install Wi-Fi routers on the air-conditioned buses and is using the slogan “Wi-Fi onboard as Wi-Fi connection should be free for all”, according to the Nation.

So far, the Euro-II buses on routes 39, 510, 520, 555, 26, 60, 514, 511, 36, 73, 16, 503, 23, 70, 79, 515 and 556 have been installed with routers.

It is the small things in life that can make a big difference, and free Wi-Fi will make a big difference to commuters.
