NYC Subway Cell Service To Begin

Beginning on Tuesday, even some of Manhattan's subway platforms will not be out of reach for the clattering, jabbering, Angry Birding masses.

Some straphangers will be able to make calls and go online on their smart phones at six subway stations starting Tuesday, MTA officials confirmed to amNewYork. The pilot program for AT&T and T-Mobile customers will begin along the 14th St. corridor — at the A, C, E, F, L, M, No. 1, 2 and 3 platforms — and the C and E train station at 23rd St.

MTA sez it will take up to four years to equip every platform.
