Great work, Aaron. Thanks for all you do.

Is there any plan to provide AC (or DC) electric outlets on the buses?

There's a deal that any public agency in California can take advantage of to get wireless packet data service for between $40 and $50 month (I can't remember the exact figure).

. (or if there’s some service here I’m not aware of). Wish they had had this when I took a commuter bus to work every day in San Diego from 1997-2000. Thanks, Tina
