Transport for Wales<\/a> (TfW), which is a not-for-profit organisation owned by the Welsh Government<\/a>, has begun trials of a new satellite<\/a> internet solution to connect the unique demand-responsive transport (DRT) based fflecsi bus services in the rural area of Machynlleth (Powys). Users of the service can now benefit from onboard WiFi<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Unlike regular buses, which operate off a fixed timetable, the fflecsi bus service adopts a flexible alternative that picks up and drops off passengers within a designated service area, based on bookings made via the app or on the phone with our friendly bilingual call centre. The service uses technology to dynamically route buses according to passenger demand.<\/p>\n

Suffice to say that it makes sense to complement this approach with onboard WiFi<\/a> for passengers, which is where the new collaboration between TfW’s Innovation Lab, installers Dragon WiFi<\/a>, and operator Lloyds Coaches comes into play. The announcement appears to indicate that OneWeb<\/a>’s (Eutelsat<\/a>) satellite<\/a> broadband network is being used to supply data capacity for the buses, although we have seen Dragon WiFi use Starlink<\/a> before too.<\/p>\n

Huw Morgan, Head of Integrated Transport and Bus Network Development, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been great to see the positive impact that the new technology has had on the customer experience. It\u2019s vital that we can provide clear updates on bus locations, especially in more rural areas like Machynlleth, where fflecsi is a lifeline for many.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Naomi Colling, Senior Planning and Development Manager for fflecsi, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis trial is a direct response to customer feedback about poor cellular coverage in rural areas.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re committed to delivering a reliable service that truly meets their needs, and we\u2019ll be constantly reviewing feedback throughout the trial to ensure we do just that.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The trial is currently expected to run until March 2026. A new trial is also set to begin in Conwy with OneWeb<\/a> technology to see if it can have a similarly positive impact for fflecsi users. But assuming all goes well then it seems likely that these services may end up being given an official launch in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
