You can take a video tour of the bus on Cisco's blog here: http://blogs.cisco.com/news/2008/02/video_take_a_tour_of_ciscos_gr.html

>> I'll be sure to pull out my laptop and surf the web while I am standing on a packed bus. You can practice on BART by taking a seat and and typing "elbows out" until the unfortunate next to you get tired of being jabbed and leaves.

Waste of money. Waste of time. Next.

There's a way to "Forget This Network" on your iPhone that prevents it from automatically joining a certain network you've used before. That's how I prevent my phone from getting stuck on the hundreds of super slow "Free The Net" routers.

And the number of stolen laptops increases dramatically on Muni...

If we bundle that with an on-line MUNI complaint system - Sweet.

this is nothing really new...downtown I took a pic (that I can't find now) of a MUNI "Internet" bus they had back during the Dot Com Boom I..... I don't know that I'd want to take out a full blown computer on any MUNI bus or train...caltrain at least has tables and stuff...and also Caltrain isn't as likely to come to a sudden stop, ensuring that the hipster doofus with the mocha chai green tea latte dumps it on your 49.50 charcoal gray suit.

I did use Wifi on a Highway 17 express to Santa Cruz a couple of weeks ago. Now that was nice, as it is a long ride and there were plenty of seats for everyone.

Settings Ask to join networks: OFF. Not terribly difficult - so when the 3G iphone* finally debuts it won't be a problem. Now then, what MUNI should do, is have Free the net wifi enable the buses. Buses plus the boosters would basically cover the whole city. That would be a capital, and free idea. *who complains about the possibility of an interruption to their web surfing on a device they don't even own yet?
