The Eurolines bus operator is now offering free Wi-Fi on buses between Tallinn (Estonia) and St. Petersburg (Russia). The trip takes seven hours and there’s a 220V electric socket under every seat. Given the duration of the trip, Wi-Fi and electricity really improve passengers’ travel experience. There are also newspapers on board. The bus Wi-Fi network uses cellular backhaul (in Estonia, CDMA; in Russia, EDGE/UMTS). Look for the buses with the orange sticker of WiFi.ee (a group founded by Veljo Haamer). Eurolines is also installing Wi-Fi on buses to Riga, Vilnius and Klaipeda.
This is great! What is it, an 8 or so hour drive?
7 hours
AFAIK, WiFi is available not in all EuroLines buses, but only in expensive high-class ones.
Thats a good thing to have WIFI on the bus indeed. I have used it on the eurolines TALLINN-ST.petersburg bus, and the speeds are more than enough for emails and surfing the web. Great job guys indeed!!
