This decision was made by Central PPK, the operator of electric trains in the Moscow region. The Wi-Fi shutdown occurred as part of a change in service provider.
CPPC representatives do not explain the reasons for the operator change, but note that the popularity of public Wi-Fi networks has decreased in recent years.
This is because the quality of public Wi-Fi is often lower than that of mobile operators’ networks, and only a small percentage of passengers actively use such networks in public transport.
In connection with these changes, stickers informing about the availability of Wi-Fi were also removed from the wagons. Wi-Fi equipment is currently being dismantled. The new operator and conditions for the provision of Wi-Fi services on suburban trains have not yet been announced.
