Bring back the 56 trolley with completed separated tracks. Erie has potential but currently is so car centric and hostile to anything not in a car.

For real. Philly's lack of completed transit projects over the last 10 years is really shows that its not serious about becoming a transit oriented city.

Philly has been abandoning transit projects for 150 years. The city has never followed through on public works.

It sucks how true this is. For all the shit that Philly residents give NYC, Philly could learn a thing or 2 about transit. In the same time frame, the MTA modernized the 2 fleets subway cars, completed one subway line extension, is working on the 2nd Ave extension, and planning an entirely new line. Meanwhile, Philly is thinking about moving bus routes around... Ugh, it's so damn frustrating

Younger people are not riding transit. They have more cars and parking in hip neighborhoods is nearing impossible. You can’t fund a transit system that people don’t ride.
