Mayor Carlos Alvarez to launch wireless on Metrorail and Metrobus

 


(Miami-Dade County, FL) -- 
Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Alvarez and Miami-Dade Transit are launching free wireless service on select Metrorail cars and 95 Express buses on November 12, 2009.  The launch is an expansion of the Mayor's Wireless Miami-Dade Initiative, which brought free wireless service to Tropical, Tamiami and Goulds parks.

The expanded Wi-Fi pilot program is designed to improve the transit experience for residents and visitors, allowing riders to access the Internet via laptop or other wireless device.  The pilot program will run through spring 2010. 

"Thousands of park goers are enjoying free Wi-Fi at our parks.  Expanding wireless to our transit system is the next logical and exciting step to continue our Wi-Fi efforts" said Mayor Alvarez.
