PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) — Passengers on all Hampton Roads Transit, or HRT, transportation services will now be able to use Wi-Fi, a release states.

The introduction of Wi-Fi comes following investments and technology upgrades, including surveillance video and mobile passes, a release states.


“Most of our transit has offered wireless internet connection for over a year, but we’re now pleased to offer this free service on every bus, trolley, light rail car and ferry,” HRT’s Chief Information and Technology Officer Michael A. Price Sr. said. “With Wi-Fi, our customers can catch up with work while riding, browse the internet, check schedules or just stay connected no matter what mode of transit they’re on.”
