My favorite is still the pilot program for street sweeping. The Empire State Building was constructed in its entirety faster than Philadelphia can figure out how to tackle street sweeping.

Yea shame that Boston, NYC, Chicago and Camden didn't have a fully functioning system before the Key RFP was even posted.

To your point no one at SEPTA suffered any consequences for the millions in overruns and missed deadlines.

I’d rather it be safe then free. Monetarily as it relates to the MFL not as a general sentiment lol. Safety is a part of freedom too though

They can pee on it if it keeps them from bothering me on the train

Would be great. Would keep a lot of the problem riders off.

Guns are the problem.

Well it’s a good thing guns aren’t ever owned, handled, or used by people. Oh. Wait.

A handgun’s only purpose is to kill you (or another human). A world where easy access to lethal force is the only way you feel safe is a dystopian one you should never want to live in.

All the costs for trying figure out how people can pay… spend it on safety teams..

They spend more setting up, running, updating (all out of date now), stopping, paying workers to sit at stops all to make people pay. 40% of septa income is via city not fare. Spend the money on septa cops or community safety officers.

Addicts and homeless are people too. Safety and payment are not the same. Free and safe can exist.

Edit: source https://www.commonwealthfoundation.org/2016/11/07/who-pays-for-septa/ and not most but 40% of revenue is from state
