Altamont Corridor Express Expands Wi-Fi Service on All Cars

BAY AREA, CA – Passengers on the Altamont Corridor Express, a commuter train that runs from San Jose to Stockton, now are able to enjoy expanded internet access in transit, ACE Train officials said Monday.

Wi-Fi is now available in all cars of the train, but officials say that service may not be available in some of the rural areas along the train's route.

"Well folks, we kicked off the WiFi this morning and we're hearing great things!" the agency said this morning on the Facebook event listing. "As a thank you for joining our little event I've got some little goodies to giveaway to each of you. Please send me your mailing address and I'll send you a package. Email me at shawn@acerail.com."

The Altamont Corridor Express runs four westbound trains from Stockton in the morning and four more eastbound trains from San Jose in the afternoon.
