Information regarding the list of railway stations to be installed with �Wi-Fi` facility is released.
During the Railway Budget presented on Tuesday, 8th July, a variety of facilities for the passengers has been proposed.
One of the important facilities is the installation of �Wi-Fi� facility in Railway Stations of category �A� & �A1�.
Accordingly, the Railway Stations of �A1� category, Chennai Central, Chennai Egmore, Madurai, and Coimbatore will be installed with �Wi-Fi� facility.
Stations like Villupuram, Trivhy, Tanjore, Salem, Erode, Tirupur, Mettupalayam, Thirunelveli, Tuticorin, and Dindigul, belonging to category �A�, will also be provided with �Wi-Fi� facility.
Having a smart-phone would be enough to avail this �Wi-Fi� facility. Internet can be accessed free. This could be immensely useful for all passengers including the information on train reservation/booking.
So far, the trend has been to provide �Wi-Fi� facility only in major shopping malls. This is the first time that this facility is brought to a public place! lakhs of passengers in Tamil Nadu will enjoy using this facility.
It is worth noting that there are about 5 lakh passengers daily in Chennai/Moore Market stations and about 1.45 Lakhs of passengers in Egmore Railway Station.
