Free Wi-Fi which could be accessed by those making use of public transport will encourage more people - especially teenagers and those who frequently use their smartphones or tablets - to use public transport and avoid using their cars. It would also be helpful if free Wi-Fi is installed in bus stages and shelters, making it even more efficient to use the 'Tal-Linja' app.
This would also encourage the inefficient service. Clients would be alienated with the WIFI and the service provider would receive less complaints and the Minister for Traffic (as we had these 4 years) will not try to improve the traffic situation.
