Reply to Why do BSL express trains not hold for an extra 5 seconds so the local passengers can transfer by RoughRhinos
There is significant overlap between stops on local and express from walnut/locust until Girard. In my experience, the express and local typically wait at Girard for transfers and don’t worry about it before that point.

Cut $100k home improvement checks to every homeowner with a 100% repayment stipulation if the property is sold within 3 years or if funds aren’t used to improve the property.

I’m the 9th District, I’m supporting Yvette Young for council. As a civil engineer with experience in various city and city-adjacent entities, couple with progressive policies, I think she could be very effective in council!

Center city for me. The random congestion, the aggression, and the (appropriate) pedestrian focus mean is far rather be on foot.

Pump the brakes is good advice unless you have ABS. ABS pumps the brakes for you!

Yeah, trying to catch the express southbound on the BSL and suddenly you’re at 8th and Market because you didn’t notice the yellow lights on the front of the train….

Or when I lived in south Philly and the flat rate was an overcharge and they would get pissy about a “short fare.” I get that my ride wasn’t the lucrative one, but asking “are you sure” when I give my home address is ludicrous. I used to carry an extra $10 to hand to drivers that didn’t try to gouge me after I expensed my max tip allowed by my company.
