Bus Service * USA - Microsoft giving workers free ride -- with its own

Wi-Fi-enabled system will debut this month

Seattle,WASH,USA -The Seattle Post Intelligencer, by TODD BISHOP & ANDREA JAMES -7 Sept 2007: -- That's the surprise addition Microsoft Corp. made to its portfolio Thursday, announcing its own bus service -- complete with on-board wireless Internet access -- to shuttle its employees from their neighborhoods around the region to Redmond and back home again... The 14-bus Microsoft "Connector" system, to debut later this month, was announced as the company unveiled plans to open new offices in Seattle's South Lake Union and Pioneer Square neighborhoods... At launch, the bus system will handle no more than 1,000 employees a day. That's only a slice of Microsoft's more than 35,000 employees in the region...

Aaron Edwards, above, is general manager for MV Transportation, the company that will operate the 14 buses in the system)
