As a part of the wifi promotion, VTA is conducting a contest this weekend and offering a prize of two Giants vs. Dodgers tickets and Caltrain tickets to the game. To enter the contest, just ride the light rail and log in to wifi.
If commuters are pleased that VTA is offering wifi on all light rail vehicles, they would be more pleased if Caltrain offers free wifi as well. While wifi has been one of the most requested service on Caltrain, the agency has not been very responsive to that demand, even though Caltrain would stand to benefit much more than VTA from increased ridership and fare revenues.
Since VTA provides operating subsidy to Caltrain, it wouldn't be a bad idea for VTA to provide technical assistance to Caltrain on installing wifi.

"VTA Light Rail Trains Now Offer Free 4G Wi-Fi at Lightning Speeds!"
Oh the irony!! Lighting fast wi-fi while crawling thru the downtown transit mall at a snail's pace!
I'm just teasing. I think Wi-fi is a great idea! Anybody tried it yet? Is it really lightning fast?
VTA Lightrail WIFI sucks 80% of the time! Very annoying as I sit here now constantly freezing up!
I have to say the only thing I've been able to get the VTA wi-fi to work at least 90% of the time is Pandora, I've tried using VPN and putty, and my computer would crash badly. Sometimes you can stream Netflix.
Very informative and worthy post. Thanks for the sharing such a precious updates with us

If they are so intent on dragging people to the service by offering WiFi, why didn't they give us the NAME to look for when trying to link to their WiFi or is it another one of those things of little import to VTA.
