This is only in Northern NJ since that's where all the train stations are. This isn't available on the Philly-AC or River lines.
It's pretty much useless any way since unless you spend a lot of time at one of the listed train stations.

I find it odd they are not going to cross-honor each others user accounts. Sounds like it would be a trivial thing to do and it would give them a huge footprint along with an excellent leg up over the competition. Much like cellphone roaming.

| I WANT IT!!
Sorry for the caps, but low cost or free wi-fi on my ride to and from seeing my girlfriend (who lives in bayonne) would be AWESOME! Would allow me to carry out moderator duties on NYCTF (»www.nyctransitforums.com) while checking for service alerts, weather forecasts, and even allowing me to upload photos from my camera while i'm still on the train.
I WANT IT! ME ME ME!     
Would also allow people to check the status of their flight or airport, ferry, traffic, and other information.
This is VERY exciting!

Re: Odd
I think it's important to allow the systems to test with current customers with long history vs totally new users. After trial period, make it public, low cost (~2 bucks per hour or about the average train ride), or free.
You could even have special NJ transit wifi pass to allow access via your ticket stub. Simply type in # on ticket stub for hour, 45, 30 minutes of access.

Gotta tell everyone, I live very, very close to the Hazlet train station and just for the hell of it I drove over there laptop in hand and it works great!!! I think cross honoring would be beneficial to both companies also. |

Re: North Jersey only
This is also available along major BUS Routes and what is termed 'town centers' so as an example, in my town the entire main street, including the Municipal Building, HS, one of the Elementary Schools, and the Middle School with continuous overlapping coverage (including a Starbucks). The main bus route to NYC is also covered but with gaps. |
