The TTC and BAI Canada announced that the free Wi-Fi service for TTC customers has been expanded to now include Sherbourne, Castle Frank, Bathurst and Christie subway stations.
With the addition of these stations, Wi-Fi service is now available to customers at all subway stations in the downtown lower loop of Line 1, and on Line 2 from Sherbourne to Christie stations.
BAI Canada has also confirmed its commitment to a full rollout of a Wi-Fi and cellular network across the subway system over the next 20 years, with plans to bring 25 additional stations online by the end of next summer. All stations will be complete by early 2017. BAI Canada is continuing to work with WIND Mobile to extend cellular service into the additional stations announced Dec. 4.
The ad-based Wi-Fi and cellular service, branded TConnect, comes at no cost to the TTC or its customers since it first launched at Bloor-Yonge Station two years ago. This month, Twitter Canada is exclusively sponsoring Wi-Fi on the TTC. TTC customers with Twitter accounts will automatically connect, and will remain connected for 12 hours while in TTC stations with Wi-Fi. Those without Twitter accounts will need to create a Twitter account to access the network.
