NEW YORK - Need to hang up because you're going into the subway? Not any more.
MTA chairman Tom Prendergast on Wednesday said all 279 underground subway stations will be Wi-Fi enabled by the end of the month.
The news came out of the agency's board meeting.
The agency is also in the midst of contract talks with the Transit Workers Union local 100.
In an effort to get their point across, some employees posted their concerns on post it notes inside the MTA's office building in Lower Manhattan.
Their current contract expires next month.
They've been pushing for a pay increase, along with increased job safety.
"We move eight million people a day through this chaotic system. We get assaulted, we get spat upon, we even get murdered in the line of duty doing what we do. We deserve a contract that adequately reflects the work that we do in the midst of this chaos," said TWU Local 100 President John Smuelsen.
The TWU announced last week that it is suing the MTA after it chose to ban this ad featuring injured transit workers.
