I ride BART through SF regularly, and often use my iPhone, and sometimes my MacBook, on the train. The WiFi Rail signal is available in some parts of the BART system, and it appears to be an open WiFi network, but there is no connectivity to the Internet.
BART, WiFiRail, or someone - please freakin' turn off the WiFi signal until you are ready to actually offer working WiFi! You are damaging your brand by leaving this non-functional WiFi network on - and I presume you'll leave it on for the next few years until you actually make it work in 2011! Please, for your sake (and I really want you to succeed!) turn it off until it is ready to use.
Also, 2011??!! My understanding is that all the necessary fiber is already in place. Why the heck is it going to take 2+ years to connect the leaky coax access points to the existing fiber?!

If it isn't up and running, why is the damn thing on?!
