Some reasons I can think of:bikentransit wrote:Why do they have bus routes that take over an hour and a half to get from one end of the line to the other?

I doubt we'll ever see an inch of new subway built, but it sure would have helped had they not rolled over and played dead with their abandoned rail lines being converted to trails. They're not coming back either despite the heavy growth in the Quakertown, 422, and Lower Bucks markets. For Pete's sake, they still can't get to Wawa!

Instead of constantly complaining about SEPTA on blog site, why don't you redirect your negative energy towards creating a movement to drive the political will necessary needed to fund these BILLION DOLLAR infrastructure improvement projects to restore passenger service where you see the need?
Start by reading up on the state's annual budget, deserving social programs and pension funds that are constantly starving for money and resources. Then figure out how to redirect those funds without cutting other programs or raising taxes to build your railroad, and then pitch your ideas to the county commissioners and elected state representatives in town hall meetings to gain public support.
Who knows, you might actually accomplish something in life other than people rolling their eyes at your constant whining and acrimony towards a bankrupt city transit system on the Internet.
