The Montego Bay Metro Company Limited (MBM) has advised that commuters in Western Jamaica now have free access to the Internet, via Wi-Fi, when travelling on all MBM buses.

General Manager Dr Shauna-Gaye Brown said this initiative by MBM, an agency of the Ministry of Transport and Mining, will allow commuters to stay connected with family, children, business partners and friends on the buses.

“We recognise that we are living in a technological age where there are several changes and improvements taking place in the transportation sector. This initiative by Montego Bay Metro will allow passengers, using smartphones, to have access to basic Internet connection, at no cost during their commute.”

In addition to the free Wi-Fi access, the MBM has also introduced its FleetFactz app via Google Play Store and encourages all commuters to download the app for their convenience.

“Commuters can now track all the buses by downloading the FleetFactz App. We recognise that while our commuters rely heavily on our transportation service, due to several factors at times, there are delays, which leave our passengers wanting to know what time the ‘Metro bus’ will arrive,” Brown noted.

Parents are also encouraged to make full use of the FleetFactz App as a means of tracking their children’s safety. Currently, the MBM provides transportation via five routes: Montego Bay to Cambridge, Falmouth, Goodwill, Mackfield and Sandy Bay.

Persons wishing to access Wi-Fi during the commute may use the following credentials:

• Username: Montego Bay Metro
• Password: Metro123

Passengers can download the FleetFactz App from the app store utilising the username and password:

• Username: MBMCommuter@60691
• Password: Metro
