Amtrak is including free Wi-Fi for train passengers traveling through
Michigan and three other Midwest states. MLive.com reports
(http://bit.ly/1bOoLG4 ) that the rail service made the announcement Monday
and that the Michigan Department of Transportation has spent about $1
million to install Wi-Fi on the trains. State Transportation officials
anticipate that the free Internet connection will translate into more
revenue through increased passenger train ridership. Amtrak has three routes
in Michigan. The rail service says Wi-Fi also is now available on routes in
Illinois, Missouri and Wisconsin. MLive.com says about 85 percent of Amtrak
passengers in the United States now have Wi-Fi access.
