The cellphone companies should be paying for that stuff, not taxpayers/riders, and I am sure the only reason AT&T hasn't ponied up to do it is that they have accurately assessed that they could get WMATA to spring for it.

Just access the WMATA mobile Web site from the main site (it's clearly marked) and look at the real-time station boards. I've got a Sprint phone and it works just fine in the metro. Verizon will do the same thing. You're out of luck if you use AT&T or T-Mobile. They don't work in the metro. What rubbish.

Still too much though IMHO. They dropped the price to $9.99. Still too much though IMHO.

What are they smoking? That's just insanity. I'd pay MAYBE $2.99 at most for that. Especially since someone's going to come along with a better, free version soon. $15? What are they smoking?

And if I'm paying, I want real-time arrivals/departures/locations, not just the schedule. Yeah, I’m not a fan of the $15, would probably pay $5, maybe $10.
