Subject: News from Metro: Wireless service expanding in Metro system

“Once we get a new wireless system completely installed, Metro and our
riders will have access to enhanced cellular service and fewer dropped
calls underground,” said Metro General Manager John Catoe.  “Metro’s
second wireless network will support our next generation of public
safety and other operational wireless needs, such as The Metro
Channel.”  The Metro Channel will provide riders with rail and bus
service information, news and advertising via monitors in stations,
trains and buses.
===================

I fear that it will not be possible to turn the sound down on these monitors in the stations and on trains and buses. The only time I get to read for pleasure now is on Alexandria's DASH bus.
