Reply to comment by [deleted] in 50% of ALL of SEPTA's problems can be solved overnight by installing barriers that prevent gate hopping on Broad and MFL lines by scatterbrainedpast

OP is pitching a solution, yes, but it’s a bandaid solution for something that isn’t inherent SEPTA’s fault.

So we implement these changes, and now more unhoused people are sleeping in stations or on the street. That’s somehow better? It’s not. Stop pretending it’s better.

I mean I guess it “solves” SEPTA’s problems but now it’s shifted to someone else. It doesn’t solve the problem at all - just shifts who is responsible for it.

SEPTA shouldn't be responsible for homelessness so that responsibility should shift

Do you lock your doors at night? If so, why? Isn’t locking them just a bandaid to societal problems?
