BART expands wireless access

BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) has started providing      wireless connections to all passengers on it's trains  underground. This is a good news for thousands of bay area commuters who take underground tube daily to work. Wireless service underground especially comes handy in situations like technical glitches or natural disasters.  Five of the Bay Area's six wireless providers have agreed to use the system. But, from initial reports, cellular signal seems to be spotty. Hopefully the coverage would improve in coming days. Service availability schedule below:
