Eh? How do you make that out? Wifi hasn't even been available on the
Underground (excluding very limited trials) until now. And I certainly
wouldn't want my ticket price to rise to pay for it!

It will, don't worry. Call it the lay-away plan -- you don't have to
start paying until January 2013.

latest innovation is great news for Tube customers, who now have access
