    It is pretty great when it works.

    While many newer underground railways have had mobile coverage in their tunnels for years…

    This is news to me, I don’t think I’ve seen it in any other city. But maybe I just haven’t travelled enough

      I’d even say most western European and other big country capitals have pretty good data coverage underground. Wikipedia lists Hong Kong, Delhi and Copenhagen as examples but I’m certain I’ve experienced it elsewhere.

      Even in London where there are many no signal spots on the underground the data connection is better than some city centres and urban areas above ground just standing around on foot, like around the Brighton centre and Guildford edges.
