WiFi on UTA Busses
The Utah Transit Authority (UTA) is experimenting with WiFi on busses. The move is an effort to attract riders. It seems to be working:
“Free Wireless Access keeps me riding the bus,” a survey respondent said. “Though driving to work would get me faster, wireless access is an incentive to me to stay off of the road. This is the single best thing about riding the bus. Keep it UP!! Please!!!”From Salt Lake Tribune - UTA plan will let riders surf Web while they ride

I suggested a similar move for light rail 5 years ago when I was Utah’s CIO. Glad to see it happening.

Makes me want to move farther away from my office and start taking the bus!

I'd seriously consider riding the bus more if WiFi was available on all buses. I'd only worry about getting too involved in my computer work and missing my stop.

The Bus Routes Changes a Disaster. It has make it real hard to access for the disabled, elderly
and individuals that choice not or do have a car.
