Metrorail passengers will soon be able to go online while underground. Four major cell phone providers have started to install the hardware that will enable riders to make calls, surf the Web, or send text messages from 20 of the Washington (DC) Metropolitan Area Transit Authority’s busiest stations starting in October. “Customers have been asking for expanded cell phone and Internet access in the Metrorail system for a long time,” said Metro General Manager John Catoe. “I’m extremely pleased that we will make that convenience a reality for customers at our busiest stations this fall.” Currently, Metro’s underground network only supports Verizon customers and Sprint phones that roam on the Verizon network.
