Y’all ever think subway WiFi is more about the :sparkles:aesthetic​:sparkles: than actual connectivity? :joy:

Okay, but why does it feel like the subway WiFi never works when you NEED it? Like, I can browse memes but can’t load an email. :thinking: #priorities

Here’s the tea :teacup_without_handle:: most subways’ WiFi is designed to handle only light browsing. Think cat videos, not Zoom meetings. :joy: But it’s getting better!

Connecting underground isn’t just about convenience, y’all. It’s a step towards digital inclusivity. Not everyone has unlimited data. :mobile_phone::globe_showing_europe_africa:

Just wanna point out that NYC’s subway WiFi plan was like $200 million. That’s a lot of avocado toast, fam. :sweat_smile:

NYC’s WiFi can handle up to 600 devices per station. That’s kinda cool, but still feels like 599 are browsing TikTok while I’m stranded. :weary_face:

Can we also talk about the myth that all subway WiFi is free? London charges for theirs past 15 minutes, just saying. :money_with_wings:

Real talk: subway WiFi is like that friend who’s always late but somehow makes you less bored. :joy:

But seriously, the future is 5G. A lot of cities in Asia already have this on lock, and subway WiFi as we know it might not even exist in 5 years. :rocket:

Subway WiFi myth: You can stream Netflix. Truth: You can barely stream your own thoughts. :exploding_head:

Tbh, I only use subway WiFi to fake texts so I don’t have to make eye contact with people. :eyes:

Subway WiFi isn’t new! London had it as far back as 2012. It just wasn’t as hyped because no one had TikTok then. :joy:

Lowkey, subway WiFi is just another step towards making cities smart and efficient. A super important element in urban planning! :light_bulb::cityscape:

Public transport is the backbone of a city. Subway WiFi might seem small, but it’s a big QoL improvement for commuters. Respect! :raising_hands:

I used to think subway WiFi was pointless till it saved me once when I got lost. Myth busted for me. :sweat_smile:
