Simple out-of-the-box deployment of public Wi-Fi on public transit, coach-lines, shuttles, school-buses and other passenger transportation vehicles and stations
Today, Wi-Fi is a necessity for public transportation while on the road and most passengers are expecting it. We are offering a turnkey solution for public transportation, including hardware, software, Internet connection, installation and technical support to provide your passengers with connectivity and you with tools for promoting, engaging, and geolocating.
Yes—many modern coach and charter buses already offer onboard internet access for passengers. If your buses do not yet offer Wi-Fi, you should consider implementing our solution.
How do Passengers Connect to Wi-Fi on a Bus?
Most modern buses that offer internet access have a Wi-Fi router installed on board. Open your device’s Wi-Fi settings, find the bus Wi-Fi network name, and connect. Our platform allows you to show advertisements and link to a website’s URL before granting access to the Internet. We also provide the ability to capture email addresses and other passenger data and preferences.
Is Wi-Fi Onboard Buses provided for Free?
Many bus companies provide free on-board Wi-Fi to enhance passenger experience. In return they collect data or provide advertisements prior to Internet connection. However, policies vary. Some providers charge a fee for the service. Always check with your specific bus service for details on their offering.
Do Buses offer Charging Ports or Power Outlets?
While many buses currently on the road do not have USB ports or standard outlets at passenger seats, many newer buses do offer them. It is best to ensure your devices are fully charged before boarding a Wi-Fi equipped bus to ensures a more productive journey, especially on extended trips.
Which Bus Companies has Eye-In Media worked with?
We’ve partnered with prominent operators like Transdev / Veolia / Limocar and Bell Horizon among many other small and big coach operators to deploy fast, reliable Wi-Fi across their fleets. This helps them improve the overall passenger experience, gather data-driven insights, and keep travelers connected during every trip.
