i hope philly continues to fund more rail systems in the future. rail is very underutilized in the US for general travel. Itll help the envio and help ease congestion which also helps the envio. give me more trains.

This won't help with 76 traffic. Any traffic reduction gains by the 10k ridership will be offset by induced demand. You see it every time a new highway lane is built. You can see it on Long Island, where the country's most popular regional rail exists, but highway commute times into the city still average over an hour.

People from NY are gonna loooove overpaying to live there

>This is even when Philly makes up over 90% of ridership.

Got a source for this?

SEPTA seves South Eastern Pennsylvania, not just Philly, and Bucks county alone has over 200k more people than it did in the 1970s, pretty sure MontCo population has gone up even more than Bucks.

Order Mexican Pizzas from Rosario's. Their Pizza al Pastor is 🔥

Do people who live out there even come into the city?

lmao they can't even staff rush hour service anymore and they're giving this pile of shit they don't think anyone will ride $125 million more for "design" after a decade of "designs".

Is there such a plan for a rail line that follows 95?

afaik no one including the mall was willing to give up parking for this, makes it seem like they couldn't care less

Aw man. Drinks by the firepits followed by a movie across the street was a solid winter date night in the before times

It’s also that all areas septa services have equal say in projects, with the 6 or so outside Philly areas all coming together to vote down Philly projects in favor of projects outside the city. This is even when Philly makes up over 90% of ridership.

Ok

I bet the 2k people that will use this monthly are so happy

I think the main branch is probably just harder to get to for ppl than the neighborhood ones.

They’re gonna call the cops on you for identity theft probably

What would that have entailed?

Hopefully they can create some kind of KOP transit hub and - if they can find or create space - continue the train into other directions. Like to the Northeast, or to cough Reading, or to Exton.

You shouldn't need to always go to 30th Street to go anywhere

>Korean restaurant Koreana

That’s crazy

Heck yes! Those Winkler-Rhodes boys make a good pie!

every time they do something out of the box it looks like subversive dogshit. This building is beautiful. Not garish nor gauche, perfectly balanced, subtle, pretty, clean. Not an ugly bold-colored 5-over-1, not a glass rectangle. You couldn’t ask for a better building. At least, considering all other modern architecture.

> half mile from the casino

Yeah, that's literally across the street. Any closer it would be IN the casino parking lot.
