After a three month test period, the Washington, DC to Boston run will be the first route to get the service, with more being added in the future. During the trial, 39 percent of riders, or about 115,000, signed on."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1275611514.usr105634.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>They say they have tested it, I'm curious how well it actually works. But good for them for at least providing it for free.
