Question?

I have seen photos of those hubs and I was wondering (can't google at work); the "hubs" are they going to be spread out by carrier across the stations? Or maybe the better question is would the coverage footprint of all carriers be the same throughout the subway lines and would it cause any kind of interference or degraded coverage since there would be so many people in the subway stations at one time?

Curious to see how that would work.

It would only cause harmful interference if the wifi devices are trying to access the exact same frequency as any other device, or as something that causes interference, like another phone. Yeah, having all those people packed together like that would definately cause poor service and other problems too. I know that for me, if I am streaming video over my 2.4Ghz network and I turn on my Microwave, it gets really choppy really fast - I don't have that problem with 5Ghz. Hopefully, they are 5Ghz wifi networks.
