I'm not very familiar with the surface trackage through University City so maybe this is a completely off the wall suggestion. If SEPTA had the money and will (uhh, right!) would it be worthwhile to use the diversion trackage thru University City, as well as new trackage as needed, to replace the LUCY bus with a streetcar line? I envision new low floor trams similar to the Portland Streetcar.
Others can speculate on worthwhile routing but 30th St station would seem to be an ideal starting point. Would it be possible to effectively serve Drexel, Penn, with a single line or would it need to ramble around too much?
Regards,
Bob
