Comcast will be providing Wi-Fi access to its customers at select New Jersey train stations, the cable company announced Monday. “If you’ve got your Comcast high-speed internet log-in user ID and you’re in the area, you can log on,” a spokeswoman said. Access will cover the stations and the parking lot areas, but is not intended to be a wireless app that works in between stations on the train, she said.

Comcast kicked off the trial this weekend at about 100 NJ Transit stations throughout the state, according to the spokeswoman. The offering is an independent project, however; Comcast is not working directly with NJ Transit on the effort, she said.

Stations on the Bergen County, Boonton, Morris and Essex, North Jersey, Northeast Corridor, Pascack, and Raritan Valley Lines are now providing Wi-Fi access.
