Personally I don’t need Egged’s WiFi – I have a 3G phone that can be used either as a WiFi router or as a modem via USB or Bluetooth (Nokia E72).

But I do think it’s a great idea, it may drag some people to the bus instead of using their cars.

I don’t see the safety issue here, like most. I really just fail to see any relation between WiFi and safety. It’s not like the driver is going to be using the WiFi while driving, right?

Now I have plenty of complaints about Egged as well as the other bus companies here. But this is in fact a positive thing. I just wish they would do it on inner city buses also.

An interesting question: will this be available on ‘mehadrin’ buses like the 402 and 418 as well? Or will the driver get a switch to disable the WiFi when the bus is doing a ‘mehadrin’ line? Or are they going to designate specific buses for ‘mehadrin’ lines only?
