A test justified by different reasons…
R.A.T.P. makes its free Wi-Fi buses available for tourists. Practised for 6 months, this service must contribute tourists to check some news on Internet for their holidays in Paris without waiting to be in the departure lounge or in their hotel. Indeed, they profit from a free connexion for thirty minutes during the road linking the station « Paris Opera » to the airport of « Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle » and vice versa. It corresponds to the half time used to cover this distance. In addition to this, this service is offered by the advertising board called « Média Transports » in R.A.T.P. If the test of this service will be conclusive, its financing will be permanent thanks to advertising. (suite…)
