...is this -truly- the best that can come out of 1234 Market Street? Congratulations on a well-written and insightful commentary. IMO SEPTA is a bit like the old song with the line that goes something like, "been down so long I don't know what up is". They've been incompetent and inbred f...

According to this morning's Inky, SEPTA is going to reopen bidding, so it's back to square 1, or maybe 2 since most (all?) of the same firms will be at the table. I find it interesting that they claim to have bailed out of the UTS deal not because they felt someone else could do a better job, but be...

GAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SEPTA's position seems to be, "If a job is not worth doing wrong, it's not worth doing at all".

That little stub at 13th street is just for emergency storage and was never meant for anything else. ... As far as other portals go, the original portal was at 23-24th street along with the el. The tunnel exten s ion was ope n ed in the fifties I believe. Thanks to everyone for clearing up the myst...

Unless procedures have changed, the CTD operators and cashiers should have been informed about the Bouquet Pass. When there is a new or temporary fare instrument such as this, notices go up on employee bulletin boards with a picture of the instrument and instructions on how it is to be accepted and...

The subway-surface lines never ran east of the City Hall loop. I've noticed the same portal and my guess is that it is part of a never-completed extension. There are a few other places where there are unused tunnels, such as the one that supposedly was to be used for an Arch Street line and the stat...

Wow! That's quite an itinerary - sounds extra enjoyable. About the only major mode you missed was the subway-surface lines in West Philly. If and when the trackless trolleys return you should add them to your destinations as well. It's a shame you had to put up with a certain degree of SEPTA INEPTA-...

There used to be more stops on the Market Street side of the line. Over the years SEPTA has gradually eliminated most of them. Presumably 63rd St. is still an A stop to balance Millbourne but as was pointed out that probably doesn't make a lot of sense today. Millbourne remains a skip-stop because i...

It may be tilting at windmills, but I wonder what the effect would be if a number of the major businesses and institutions (e.g. hospitals, the school district, etc.) that are being hurt were to take collective action to start cleaning house. Something like a damage suit against the state, SEPTA man...
