📋 Tender Overview
In response to citizen requests, the connection service to a public Wi-Fi network is available in the 15 stations of the Quito Metro. To access this network for the first time, a brief registration process must be completed and a connection period will be available at the ticket office and platform levels of all stations, while waiting for the train to arrive.
With the implementation of connectivity, progress is made with the provision of complementary services that improve the travel experience in the most modern transportation in the region. People who register on this Wi-Fi network will access the Internet service at no cost, for a limited time of 15 minutes.
The installation of the free service began at the stations with the greatest influx of people, where the demand for this service was greatest. It ended during the last week of March with the validation of service availability at the Cardenal de la Torre station (south).
To connect, citizens must turn on the Wifi option on their mobile devices, search for the “WIFI_PUBLICA_METRO_QUITO” network and follow the steps on the screen to enter the required information and accept the conditions of use of the service. Once the respective registration has been completed, it will no longer be necessary to do so again for future sessions, simply choose the network and log in to connect.
The implementation of Wi-Fi in the Quito Metro began in January and constant work was done with the installation of satellite connection equipment and technical tests to guarantee connectivity for the benefit of the more than 136 thousand trips that are made daily in the Metro.
Inside the stations it is necessary to have the appropriate security measures to avoid accidents, for example, it is recommended not to use mobile devices while going up or down steps and to remain attentive to any information about the proper use of the service.
