LOS ANGELES\u00a0\u2014 Metro Tuesday announced it has expanded cellular service to the K Line’s underground sections.<\/p>\n
Through an agreement with Metro partner American Tower, in collaboration with the major wireless providers, riders now have full cellular service coverage at the Expo\/Crenshaw, Martin Luther King and Leimert Park stations and in the tunnels that connect them, according to Metro.<\/p>\n
“Our customers deserve a safe, convenient, and connected ride\u00a0\u2014 and we’re pleased that cell service is now fully operational in the underground stations on the K Line,” Metro Board Chair and Whittier City Council Member Fernando Dutra said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The expanded cell service makes it easier to stay connected while at stations and onboard Metro trains, the company said.<\/p>\n
The latest expansion joins the list of Metro locations that already have access to service from the three major wireless providers\u00a0\u2014 AT&T, T- Mobile and Verizon\u00a0\u2014 including the underground stations and tunnels on the B and D Lines, A Line Seventh\/Metro Station and adjacent track section toward Pico Station, as well as E Line Mariachi Plaza and Soto stations along with adjacent track sections.<\/p>\n
In addition, AT&T customers began receiving cellular service on the Regional Connector — Little Tokyo, Historic Broadway, Grand Ave Arts\/Bunker Hill stations\u00a0\u2014 in May. Metro expects T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless customers to have service on the Regional Connector as early as this fall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LOS ANGELES\u00a0\u2014 Metro Tuesday announced it has expanded cellular service to the K Line’s underground sections.
