Re: No Key? Pay double to transfer!

*rolls eyes* They will end up saving money in revenue operations for processing cash/coin, allow for easier fare reloading, and reduction of waste by getting rid of paper transfers, train/trailpasses, and already tokens. There is additional functionality that allows the Key to be used as a Debit car...

Too many cooks in the kitchen = no accountability. Have the Commonwealth run the railroad with 1 president / CEO at the top elected by the heads of the DOT served by SEPTA. PA, NJ, DE Split the railroad from the city transit division, and allow the city transit division to be run by a board of dire...

SEPTA - Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority. It's not a museum service. If you want to go to a museum, check out Steamtown and Electric City Trolley Museum in Scranton. They don't keep things around because they're "cool". Heck, look at the new locomotives! They're ugly, and...

Looks like a model railroders first attempt at painting an undecorated shell. It’s a shame, the artist’s rendition is sharp. Everyone: I agree-the new SEPTA Sprinter color scheme is quite disappointing...The earlier rendering that Roadmaster posted looks so much better...I agree with Glenn and thin...

Except possibly for ex-PRR 257 which burned and may still be on hold as legal evidence, I believe RDG 9001 is the only other remaining SLII still on the property. I too heard that it was destined for the RCTHS in Hamburg, PA. I know that RRMPA has one or two of the original PRR Pioneer cars but don...

SEPTA has a very poor OTP given the constant signal and wire problems. Where is the GM and why does he hide from the public? He doesn't. He's actually pretty visible when appropriate. Are you mad that he's not having a press conference for every delay SEPTA has greater than 15 minutes? They do have...

5) I rode the Spur from 8th & Market to Fern Rock on a Saturday once. Why don't Spur trains regularly operate to Fern Rock? If they terminate/begin at Olney Mon-Fri, what's the point of operating them to/from Fern Rock on Saturday? 6) Plus, if the express trains only operate Mon-Fri and they ha...

2308 was on track 0 @ Suburban with a mechanic in the cab around 5:45pm on Thursday 5/18. Looks like they were testing something, as they kept turning the lights on and off. Has SEPTA started boarding peak trains on 0? I don't think I've boarded a push pull on that track in maybe 10 years, and that...
