WIFI FACILITY IN BUSES

PENANG (Malaysia), May 13 (Bernama) -- RapidPenang Sdn. Bhd (RapidPenang)
is the first bus company in the country to have Wifi facility in its buses in a
move to get more people to use public transportation.

Its chief executive officer, Azhar Ahmad, said for a start, the company was
installing the facility in two of its buses, one on the bus which plies between
Balik Pulau and the Bayan Lepas International Airport and the other, the one
which plies the Teluk Bahang-Batu Feringgi-Weld Key route, in this northern
state of Penang.

He said the use of the Wifi facility would be free and that the buses would
have special stickers for easy identification by passengers.

"After three months, if response from passengers is good, we'll have the
Wifi facility installed in stages in all of our 180 buses, and also the
additional 200 buses which will be delivered to us in stages by the end of the
year," he told a press conference here Wednesday.

Azhar said the facility was provided to enable passengers to surf the
internet in the bus before arriving at their destinations.

Installation of the facility is another initiative by the company to serve
the passengers better by improving the quality of our service, he added.
