Wind Mobile has wireless service in TTC subway stations has now been expanded throughout the entire downtown loop of the TTC's Line 1 subway route.
Wind says their mobile customers can now make calls and access wireless data in subway stations from Bloor-Yonge station, right around the Line 1 downtown loop and as far north as Spadina station. Service is also operational at Bay station on Line 2, for a total of 15 stations altogether.
