Metro operator tests free Wifi on Line 13

Subway passengers have been delighted to discover free public Wifi on Line 13, a first for Shanghai’s Metro network. The Metro operator, however, tried to damp enthusiasm by saying it is just a trial run.

Passengers can connect to the Wifi simply by typing in their cellphone number and a verification code on the login page, which has a Shanghai Metro icon.

According to the login page, the Wifi connection speed was 100 megabits per second. It also said the free Wifi only covers Line 13.

Shanghai Daily found the Internet connection was stable and fast in Line 13 stations, but the signal was sometimes lost on moving trains.

The operator declined to say if the service would be expanded to all lines.
