Grand Central is now offering wireless Internet in its Station Master’s office waiting area near Track 36. “Long an oasis with spacious benches, restrooms and an eye-pleasing floral mural,” says Metro-North, the waiting area ”is now a ‘hot spot’ for free wireless internet access. MTA Metro-North Railroad customers can now turn on their laptops and surf the net or check email while waiting for the train.”
Of course, commuters won’t get much use out of this, as the true seasoned rail-riders have their routines down the the point where they’re boarding trains with just a minute or so to spare–not sitting in some waiting room like an out of town rube.
