A friend of mine just thought of something: If SEPTA goes ahead with its plan to eliminate all weekend service, then there will be a route elimination by default....
Yep, the Saturday-only Route 91 (Norristown TC to Graterford Prison) would fade into history!!!
Also imagine this, if you will...
It's January, 2005. It is a cold Sunday afternoon late in the month. By a miracle, the Eagles have made it to the NFC Championship game yet again, and this time they are on their way to a win.
But there is a problem: Only 4,000 people are in attendance at the game.
Why?
Because there is 11 inches of snow on the ground, and they were the only ones who had 4-wheel drive vehicles. The rest of the fans were stuck since they had to dig out, and the others just couldn't get to the game....
....because SEPTA runs no weekend service!!!
We'd be the laughingstock of the nation on national TV again....that would be a good kick in the you-know-where for a region with an already floundering economy...
