WI-FI READY TO PULL OUT OF THE STATION, START RIDING THE RAILS

摘要

Railroad operators are working to provide free or low-cost Wi-Fi. Amtrak plans to provide the wireless access, and so does the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority on commuter rails in Boston. Amtrak plans to make Wi-Fi available to Acela Express passengers in a year, a spokeswoman said. It has contracted with T-Mobile to offer wireless in New York, Philadelphia, Wilmington, Del., Baltimore, and Washington, D.C. The Massachusetts agency plans to put free Wi-Fi on 258 commuter rail cars. By spring, at least two cars on each train are supposed to be Wi-Fi ready.
