BART riders get cellular service in Transbay Tube

Wednesday, December 23, 2009


BART riders now can get cell phone service as they ride through the Transbay Tube connecting Oakland and San Francisco.

Four major cell phone companies — AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint/Nextel and Verizon — have activated wireless service in the tube, BART announced this week.

The added service was paid for by the cell phone companies, not the public transit agency, said BART board President James Fang of San Francisco.

With the Transbay Tube wired, cell phone service is now offered in 35 percent of BART's tunnels and eight of its 16 underground stations.
