“It is just a couple of months since we released the first fully commercially available service on our open service platform. In just two months, we have now released the second service in an upcoming long range of services running on any single, industry-standard vehicle computer for transport. This demonstrates the enormous cost-saving potential by moving the software-as-a-service model to public transport in-vehicle systems also”, says Tor Rune Skoglund, CEO of FourC AS.

In our more and more connected, online world, Wi-Fi access is now common everywhere. Since public transport vehicles often have network connectivity of some sort in any case, offering a Wi-Fi service on-board is a fairly simple and easy way to make passengers even more happy. Having access to the Internet for reading newspapers, mails, or being on Facebook or Snapchat makes the travel itself feel shorter and quicker.

In particular, for tourists and travelers without a local mobile phone data subscription plan, Cities in Motion Passenger Wi-Fi is a very good way to make public transport even more attractive.

On longer trips, e.g. on trains and long distance buses, passengers can expect to use the travel time doing productive work on their laptop or tablet. This is of course something that cannot be done while driving in a private car and makes an even more compelling case to use public transport for work-related travels.
