Speaking as a Manayunk resident, because it takes fucking 35 minutes to get over the green lane bridge in the morning. It’s one lane backed up a full mile.

Infrastructure badly needs to be upgraded to keep up with the high density housing

Why would you assume that there’s a train that goes exactly where I need it to go everyday

Because that one bridge is all they have for 10000 people in a 1 square mile. Not including all of the people that drive into conchy for many jobs located there

That bridge has 6 lanes and even when it’s congested you’re through in just a few minutes

The bridge would probably have double the throughput if people just kept their heads out of their asses and eyes off their phones when stopped at red lights.

You say that as if it's an island with 1 way out. If that bridge is so terrible, just don't take that bridge.

Or if you're going to Philly, take the train.

It is the only bridge over the river for a very long stretch. And some people travel west… not every one is constantly going to Philly every single time they leave the house
