Would have been nice! For a year and a half she took the school bus and it was a 6:10 pick up to get her out to PC and a rough go all around.

Excellent points all around. We lived in South Philly for some years and had one of our kids at PC and even that distance anything outside of school sucked to deal with for us, and our daughter missed out on some friend events due to travel, etc. Totally a shame. We did move closer to the school during the pandemic and it's been night and day. Great call out, and a key for people thinking of living in CC and putting their sons in Haverford, and whatnot. Even CC to SCH constantly adds up, so closer to home is a key IMO.

Reply to The fight to succeed Darrell Clarke as Philly City Council president has already started: ‘It’s pandemonium’ by nayrb1523
All of the options are bad, and legit this is completely disheartening to see which chuckle fucks are the "top four". No one with a spine will win (are there any spines in Council anyway?) and the bullshit of councilmanic prerogative will live on for another decade+. The city needs a reboot with the incoming mayor and holy shit, thinking of Kenyatta fucking Johnson as Council President does me in.

They way they should be imo. Earlier Cardinals sets were great but his acoustic sets are prime.

Reply to comment by deltavim in SEPTA working out kinks in mobile phone ticketing feature by bengalese
>That’s because SEPTA required Conduent, the contractor that built the system, to fix initial problems and to maintain and keep the system up-to-date, which includes adapting to new technology like mobile ticketing.
This is the reason. What incentive is there for this outsourcing firm to want to do anything else but building their own? 3rd party integration won't bring the mid/long term maintenance rev so wy on earth would they?
It's fucking stupid but it's the usual game and we, the paying riders (and tax payers) lose each time.

Completely agree. I former colleague's sons attend Haverford and live in CC, and between driving to an outpost for a shuttle pickup and the like, it's about 2.5 hours a day in communing for early middle schoolers. TPS is right around the area for them and is great until you decide what the next move.
