Free broadband on the way on Wicklow buses
The Sunday Business Post reports some good news for bus commuters on the Wicklow to Dublin route. Bus Eireann has plans to install wi-fi on Wicklow buses as well as Navan, Kildare and Drogheda. The internet access will be free and this should be an extra incentive for people to leave the car behind and make more productive use of travel time.
Another development from Bus Eireann is the installation of vehicle location systems on all routes. This will mean passengers can get real time information on bus times via displays at bus stations, online or by text message.
There is no mention yet of when the new timetables on the Wicklow route will be introduced. The local newspapers reported that there would be half hourly bus services running all the way to Dublin airport. The mooted start date for these was March but apparantly it is all dependant on the acquisition of new coaches. This bus commuter has his fingers crossed that the new timetables do come into effect as planned.
