It costs a few thousand pounds for the kit and then there's the ongoing data charge each month.
Whilst there is scope for current vehicles on routes to be retrofitted with Wi-Fi, it's unlikely any company will have a huge amount of capital built into their budget to retrofit Wi-Fi.
It's not necessarily dependent on how many people would use it; rather, will it increase passenger numbers, providing an increased profit to present? This is what Arriva's conversion of normal spec services to MAX and Sapphire is all about...
