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," according to a company spokeswoman. 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.

Comcast has no set deadline for when the offering will end, or any definite plans to expand beyond New Jersey, the spokeswoman said.

Additional information on the project and a full list of stations is available at comcast.com/wifi.

The venture is not related to Clearwire, a Sprint WiMAX initiative also backed by Comcast, Google, Intel, Time Warner Cable, and Bright House Networks.

Cablevision started offering its Optimum Wi-Fi at commuter stations and parking lots across Long Island, New York and at Metro North stations in October.

California-based startup WiFi Rail, meanwhile, announced last month that it signed a 20-year agreement with San Francisco's BART transit system to provide Wi-Fi throughout the BART transit system and on all BART commuter trains.
