Major agree, it's honestly an abysmally inconvenient trip to the airport for anyone not on or just off of Market. The airport should be accessible within 30 min by most neighborhoods in Philly by public transit.

I've taken the airport line after connecting from the El when timing works out just right, but that's not sustainable since the trip is 1 hour or more, when a drive is 15 min. It's bafflingly bad. In the past 4 trips, I've only used transit once due to lack of frequency, and I'm 5 min from an El stop.

I live in south philly and often take the airport line. It's not bad if you're close to the subway.

Airport line from South Philly isn't a bad trip, the biggest issue is SEPTA early morning bus frequency. But coming back from the airport is super convenient.
