Wi-Fi service is now available on certain Amtrak passenger trains in California: Capitol Corridor (Auburn-Sacramento-Emeryville-San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose), San Joaquin (Sacramento-Oakland-Bakersfield), and Pacific Surfliner (San Diego- LA-Santa Barbara-San Luis Obispo). According to Amtrak, in fiscal year 2011, more than 5 million people traveled on the three railway lines mentioned above. This number represents an increase of 7.5 percent over the previous year. Like other railway companies that offer Wi-Fi, Amtrak uses cellular networks as its backhaul.
