No. The article is about windows as active antennas. Meanwhile, trains now start having permeable windows that let the radio coverage from outside through. Train windows are metallized to protect from the sun - unfortunately blocking radio waves as well.

Maybe not in your country but I know there's cell repeaters all over civic infrastructure in Europe
