Why would it be more useful? If they offered LTE you would need an account with a wireless provider to be able to use it, which is probably not an option for tourists who would pay insane roaming fees. On the other hand with WiFi most wireless carriers offer WiFi calling anyway nowadays, so you're able to do anything that you could also do on LTE.
- mahyarm 11y agoWhy not both. I bet carriers would love LTE in a subway metro. I use it for BART it works pretty well most of the time.
- the_mitsuhiko 11y agoNo tourist uses the wifi in the tube. It's abysmal and too expensive for that. Unless you live in London there is no point to subscribe to the wifi there. Also pretty irrelevant as an argument given the fact that roaming charges are dropping and that you can get prepaid sims everywhere.
