Reply to Spam Calls in Philly? by WhyNotKenGaburo

The deed to your house is recorded at your local municipal administrative office, and is public record available to all. Once you buy the property, your name goes on the deed, which, again, is public record. As soon as your name goes on there, anyone, including private companies whose sole purpose is to solicit you for business, has access to it AND has your home address (literally on the deed). Your phone number is also, generally speaking, in the public record, and once they have those two things, they’re off to the races.

Reply to comment by PhillyAccount in Market Street will soon have bright red bus lanes to improve reliability and speed by RoughRhinos

I’ve done over 4500 trips in the past 5 years cuz. I’ve been more vocal about it in this past year as things are almost fully back to reopened (for the most part) and people seem to be soooo surprised at the wait times, the traffic, and you’d be shocked at some of the screenshots I’ve taken of messages from impatient riders who seem to make you wanna perform some magic trick and just appear before their eyes.
