@evan: Yes, I hope that the TTC get this job done. If they really want to, they will find a way.
@walter: Investing in technology infrastructure and Social Policy is no contradiction. A good example for this is Linz, the city government also deeply cares about social issues.

We share the same views on this topic. I completely agree. I find it unbelievable that a transportation system which wants to at appear more advanced, tactful, modern, or savvy hasn’t come to the conclusion that providing free wifi is in their best interests. Oh wait, it’s because they are old and think computers will steal union jobs..and encourage efficiency..

I would love to use the ttc with wifi personally. I hate talking on the phone to coordinate a social meeting with friends on a busy streetcar. Conversing about opinions that I have to friends and strangers alike while I travel is very unappealing to me. I find it’s very disruptive to others, and I hate hearing other people make personal plans on the phone next to me. Simply annoying.

I think Toronto needs to partner with some huge ISP and get ‘er done, add some wifi to streetcars first. Rogers and TTC sounds like a match made in hell, but it could work financially, and branding isn’ that far off either (ooh snap).
