I seem to recall using wifi on the Moscow metro two years ago, and not just the stations, but the trains. Granted, some of the lines are still running cars that were made in "Leningrad" in the 70's, but...I mean you'd expect NYC trains to be made of castable diamond and levitating two inches above the rails by this point, so it's surprising they're still catching up electronically.
- rst 11y agoThe oldest cars in the current NYC subway fleet are R32s built in 1964.
- 13of40 11y agoEven worse, huh?
- sethhochberg 11y agoThose old cars are tanks, for what its worth - they've been scheduled to be replaced several times over the years, and each time their replacement has been postponed to replace newer fleets of cars which have developed major problems. They don't have the fancy signage of some of the newer fleet, but they function very well.
- kevin_thibedeau 11y agoMany of the MTA trains are from the 70's too with classic simulated wood grain and all. Of course they do at least have AC.
- ansgri 11y agoActually, Moscow metro has wifi only in trains. Which is quite annoying since half of the stations' cellular signal is at EDGE at best.
