YRT Considers WiFi On VIVA Buses
York Region Transit is hoping that WiFi access on its VIVA buses will be enough to lure more motorists out of their cars and improve the quality of service to its existing customers.
York wants to offer WiFi free to riders by selling advertising, which would appear on the screen when the user logs in.
An alternative is a subscriber fee.
If successful, YRT would become one of the first systems in Canada to offer WiFi.
