My boss lives in Huntington Valley. I assumed he got the R3 at Bethayres, but I just found out today he gets the R8 at Fox Chase. Although a further drive it's a cheaper ticket, Bethayres is zone 3, Fox Chase zone 2. Also he's more comfortable boarding and alighting at the end of the line, especially alighting where there's much less chance of sleeping and getting an involuntary ride back to center city, as opposed to sleeping through his stop.
I must remember to grill him about if he'd ride a restored Newtown branch.
