For the latest updates on if Metro on fire, the newest lawsuits, weekend track work, and other happenings with WMATA, and the rest of the world, riders at six Metro stations can now log on to free public wi-fi.

Metro Center, Gallery Place, Judiciary Square, Union Station, Archives and L’Enfant Plaza were chosen as the guinea pigs for a 45-day pilot. After the month and a half is up, Metro will shut it off and evaluate the program.

In the meantime, users will be directed to a landing page featuring trip planning, train arrival times (including a new “where’s my train?” feature that shows real time information via an interactive map), and other customer assistance features. From there, they can go on to the rest of the web.

“Having free access to Wi-Fi while on the platforms at Metrorail stations will allow customers to stay better connected while they travel. We are excited to launch the pilot and hear from our customers about their experience,” Metro General Manager Paul Wiedefeld said in a statement.

Wiedefeld announced in February that the transit agency began installing radio cable along 100 miles of tunnel walls throughout the rail system (the start of this major capital improvement dates back to 2008, when Metro signed a contract for several service providers to wire the tunnels, but a host of problems led to a delay and eventually Metro doing the wiring itself).
