Wi-Fi on North Surrey Buses
 
Abellio, who operate most North Surrey buses, has recently introduced free
Wi-Fi on

routes 441, 451, 461, 557.so you can download as you go

My 458 (Staines-Walton-Kingston) on Thursday had a demister fault and since
the spare had Wi-Fi I could verify it was usable with my Kindle.

Stagecoach has this on the newest hybrid buses in Manchester and intends to
retrofit the rest.

It is pretty fast, so I think the link to the bus must be 4G.

Dundee Stagecoach has it as well, but it's usually pretty poor. Maybe
because everyone's using it, so I prefer to use my 3G connection.

Similarly on Stagecoach's Cambridgeshire Guided Busway fleet.

I was in Bournemouth recently, which is a bit of a University town, and it seems as if all the buses had wifi. And there's an awful lot of buses in Bournemouth.

Coming back by Southern Trains, there was no wifi. There was also a fault on the train so that the plugs which one can use to charge electro-mechanical devices were not functional.

Arriva have wi-fi on their Saphire services but I find using my 3G connection much easier than filling in a sign up screen on my phone. Also I don't get a fresh lot of marketing emails. The power points on the buses are useful though.
