00:00I'd say it was a good thing.
00:01A very good thing.
00:02I think it's an absolutely great idea.
00:03What do you think about having the internet on the Tube?
00:05Do you think it's a good thing or a bad thing?
00:06If there's an emergency, it might be good.
00:08But sometimes people just need to put their phones down and just have a travel.
00:13I think it's good and bad.
00:14Sometimes I feel like we need to switch off from what's going on outside.
00:18But sometimes we actually do need to be involved with what's going on outside as well.
00:24It keeps people connected.
00:25It gives people things to do instead of just playing games.
00:27But I mean, everyone just looks at their phone on the Tube nowadays anyway.
00:30I mean, I'm used to it because I'm from Sweden.
00:33We always had internet access on the Tube.
00:35I think it's a good thing because a lot of people might not know where they're going.
00:40And I see a lot of people ask for directions and stuff like that.
00:42If you get lost, then you at least can find your way.
00:44There's no internet downstairs, so it's a good idea to have it.
00:47If you're working on a project or a meeting and your train gets delayed, you're stuck on the Tube.
00:53It could be good, but for some people, they actually need to switch off sometimes
00:56and just take a break from work or whatever's going on in the world.
01:00It enables people to keep in contact with different people,
01:03maybe even cracking a bit of extra work if you're running a little bit behind on your tasks.
01:07But yeah, I think, if anything, there should be increasing Wi-Fi on the Tube.
