'Grand Central Reads' Brings Online Literature to Commuters
MTA Metro-North Railroad has partnered with Penguin Random House to bring literature celebrating New York authors, New York City and Grand Central Terminal to travelers with a program called “Grand Central Reads.”
Through this program, customers inside Grand Central Terminal can use their mobile devices to download free excerpts from Penguin Random House books, powered by recently expanded free Wi-Fi and wireless service activated by four wireless carriers. Users can access the service by connecting to the public Wi-Fi network and clicking here.
In addition to boosting connectivity for passengers and visitors throughout the terminal, the updated wireless system also improves communications used for Metro-North operations and emergency response activities by the MTA Police Department and New York City Fire Department.
