Regarding the Wifi I've noticed that too, but when you try to connect it just fails. Tried a few times but gave up ever since. ]]>Apr 14th 2009 6:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/Apr 14th 2009 7:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/Apr 14th 2009 7:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/
What the hell?? they were just letting drivers go left and right NOW they are doing THIS!?!?!?

smh....I suppose it makes PERFECT sense....until they get stolen....

Maybe they will only leave them on a select few routes...I cant see them putting these on the State Street or Chavis Heights routes.....lol]]>Apr 14th 2009 5:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/

I was there for a week recently. I don't drive. I saw one bus the entire freakin' week. I spent it mostly trapped in my hotel as there's no way to walk anywhere.

Possibly rather than TVs they should spend some money on, I dunno, more buses?]]>Apr 14th 2009 5:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/
And yeah, there's no way these are going in the buses that actually have riders (downtown). I saw a driveby in Chavis Heights from my middle school window...]]>Apr 14th 2009 6:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/Apr 14th 2009 6:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/
I live in Vancouver (Canada) - we have a two line (soon to be three) light rail system and a bus network that covers the entire metropolitan area, I can get anywhere on the bus. Only the most lightly used lines run as infrequently as every half hour (I've only ever been on one route that irregular).

Of course, people here still think the transit's rubbish. I should tell 'em to move to Raleigh...]]>Apr 14th 2009 6:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/

So more of them can roll around town with 2 people on them.]]>Apr 14th 2009 8:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/Apr 14th 2009 11:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/Apr 15th 2009 8:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/
fellow vancouverite here... while i can agree that our transit system is probably one of the better systems in north america, i still have to point out that it's still not good enough to get people out of their cars and into the buses and trains... most of the time it's because of that our buses runs behind schedule... i once had to wait 77 minutes at granville and 41st for the #10 during afternoon rush hour heading into downtown direction...

if you went to the open houses translink had about the integration of buses with the new canada line, you'll notice they're taking a step backwards... they're axing the #98 b-line and re-routing most suburban routes to start at bridgeport station instead of keeping them going into downtown... canada line will become so overcrowded, it'll make expo line at rush hour looks like nothing...

although i've gotta give it to them for finally planning to implement smart cards... most of the better systems around the world use those...

if you really want to see a good system, look to hong kong and their bus/MTR system or even japan and their bus/rail system...]]>Apr 15th 2009 3:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/Apr 14th 2009 5:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/Apr 14th 2009 6:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/Apr 14th 2009 8:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/Apr 14th 2009 9:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/Apr 14th 2009 5:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/Apr 14th 2009 5:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/Apr 14th 2009 7:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/14/raleigh-north-carolina-buses-get-on-board-dtv/But, When I read the headline, thats the first though I had too.
