Won’t somebody think of the children? I guess they did: The Birmingham, UK, Green Bus—a low-emissions double-decker student transportation system—has installed Icomera Moovbox M Series gateways to give kids Internet access while en route to and from school. The system carries 1,400 kids each day. The system offers real-time tracking for parents, which sounds obsessive, until you realize that figuring out when your kid will be getting off the bus during the dreary, rainy days of winter is a big advantage.
The Green Bus is not a school-funded service, but an independently operated business that’s combining a “green” message, convenience to parents and students, and technology to bring schoolbussery into the 21st century, I guess. A yearly academic full access pass is 475 (about $700). They’re planning expansions beyond Birmingham this fall.
