MTA looks to bring Wi-Fi to L train’s East River tunnel
Let there be Wi-Fi.
The MTA announced Friday that it’s looking for a real estate license to bring broadband and wireless cell service to the L train’s tunnel under the East River.
The move, which would allow straphangers to use their phones and other devices between First Avenue and Bedford Avenue on the L line, would make the line the first under-river subway tunnel with full connectivity.
