Most of the people in Patna station use the Wi-Fi to search on YouTube or Wikipedia. More than anything else, porn sites have been watched and downloaded at the station. People also use the service to download apps and films from Bollywood and Hollywood. RailTel which is providing the free Wi-Fi services is offering 1 GB of free data, and there are plans to increase it to 10 GB because of the slow internet speed caused by an innumerable number of users.

The Government plans to introduce the services across all major Railway Stations across the country in the coming three years.
