In Chicago, every underground station AND the tunnels connecting them have had LTE service since December 2015. Amazingly, it works annoyingly well (quite a few people will do video Facetime chats, without headphones, for tens of minutes while we're going through the underground portions of the network).

- dzhiurgis 9y ago> without headphones How is that different from having a chat with a friend next to you?
- kevindong 9y agoI don't know how/why but those conversations are a lot quieter than the video chats.

- lovemenot 9y agoIn Tokyo, a sustained conversation even at barely audible levels would be discouraged by social comparison - others don't so I shouldn't. As a result I can follow a typical conversation between seemingly oblivious native English speakers from half-way down a carriage.
