Mexico City residents and visitors can now enjoy the AT&T 4G LTE network and free Wi-Fi on the Metro’s Line 3
The Mexico City Metro Service’s Line 3 now has free Wi-Fi and access to the AT&T in Mexico 4G LTE network. Line 3 joins lines 7 and 1 as the 3rd connected line in the city’s metro.

The 4G LTE network and free Wi-Fi were installed in the 23 km length of Line 3 and in the 50 trains that provide service. About 950 technicians and engineers worked more than 340,000 hours. The teams mostly worked at night to avoid affecting the Metro’s busiest hours.
