Will somebody please tell Butler County's Gift To The Commonwealth? He thinks nobody rides it.

Not really "nobody". Just welfare recipients and criminals (often the same, in his warped worldview )

That's half true on the subways and buses.

And the Trenton line

And the City of Chester. Does anyone own a car that lives in that city?

Does anyone still live in that city?

I know a few who still live there and they own cars. There's pockets within Chester that are stable. A trip along the NEC in SEPTA territory can paint a wide picture. From the urban decay of north philly to the hicksville that is Bristol, the line has got it all. When you think about it, It could be a lot worse then some leftover ticket stubs.

hey! bristol's nice! waterfront park and the wharf are great places to spend an afternoon, and i'd kill somebody for one of those beautiful victorian houses that front the river on radcliff street.

Sorry, was thinking of Bristol "Township". If I was knocked out and woke up there and someone told me I was in Oklahoma, I would believe them.

I don't know if SEPTA keeps stats on vehicle conditions, but perhaps resources could be better deployed on lines that are known to have the worst passenger pollution. I can imagine Chestnut Hill riders don't want to deal with Trenton trash. Then again, other offending riders are also on Norristown and Paoli, depending on the time of day. Late night & weekends tend to be worse. Regular commuters are usually not the issue.

Maybe you should hire a limo service to cart your entitled self around if you're that concerned about the cleanliness of your transportation.

This limo has a carbon-neutral footprint.

Maybe you should just refrain from posting on this website since you have nothing useful to contribute. Other cities have no problem keeping their systems looking respectful and clean. SEPTA should take note.

All you've done is create these straw men but you have yet to actually post a single fact, case or point to support your opinion. Don't tell me to stop posting just because you disagree.
