I fired up my iPhone today for some email checking and surfing on the Sounder train on my way to work when up popped a WiFi hotspot labeled with the Sounder name. I quickly connected and found I had a strong signal that was completely open. I did some searching around on the Sound Transit site after receiving the T-Mobile/Amtrak press release and discovered in the latest Fall 2007 edition of RIDE (pdf document). Sounder rail cars with series numbers 100, 300, and 400 have free WiFi service to and from Everett-Seattle and Tacoma-Seattle. WiFi is also available on 34 Sound Transit Express buses. An icon on the bus should alert you to availability. Sound Transit asks that you not stream audio or video content since the connection is shared by all riders. This availability just made my commute that much better and more productive and I definitely will be looking for these specific train cars.
