During a recent session, Cubatão City Council President Topete (PSD) put forth a request for the municipal government to consider implementing free Wi-Fi at bus stops and public agencies. The proposal aims to enhance digital inclusion, enabling residents to study, send job applications, and access online services while waiting for transport or appointments. Topete emphasized the necessity of such a service in public spaces where individuals often lack internet access.

Topete highlighted real-life scenarios where individuals waiting at healthcare facilities or public offices struggle without internet connectivity. He believes that implementing free Wi-Fi will significantly benefit students and residents, allowing them to complete homework or manage urgent tasks even while waiting for services. He likened Cubatão’s current situation to other cities where similar initiatives exist, indicating a growing recognition of the importance of digital access in everyday life.

This proposal not only focuses on providing entertainment but also is seen as a critical support service during emergencies. Topete pointed out that having internet access in high-traffic public areas can help residents manage crucial situations more effectively, especially when traditional transport means fail or when seeking immediate medical attention. The successful implementation of this initiative could enhance life quality in Cubatão by ensuring everyone can stay connected to essential services regardless of location.
