17 city buses in Eau Claire now have free Wi-Fi, meeting the needs of the changing face of mass transit riders. The city hopes to have all 22 buses equipped with Wi-Fi by the end of September so that no matter where people go on the buses, they stay connected.
Eau Claire Transit manager Mike Branco said commuters on-the-go can now check their emails, catch up on the news or even check social media through their mobile devices while riding the bus.
“Any mobile device, computer, you can work on your way to work which is kind of neat. It’s basically instant access,” said Branco who had been working on getting Wi-Fi to the city for the last couple of years.
He said it costs around $300 to equip each of the 22 buses with Wi-Fi. It comes out to a nearly $7000 flat fee which he said fit right into the Eau Claire Transit budget.
