WiFi coming to buses. Some day.


ExpressBus

Long-distance buses belonging to the ExpressBus alliance here in Finland will be retrofitted with WiFi, giving passengers high speed internet access. Eventually. The connection with the outside world will be handled by a @450 connection - the near mythical FlashOFDM based "wireless broadband" technology that is supposed to bring bring high speed (as in 1 Mbps) to the entire country.

But that is all in the future. This is still only the year 2007 and as the driver told us over the loudspeaker as we departed Helsinki: "for your convenience, there is a toilet in the back of the bus, have a nice trip".
