Septa Sucks!

On 11/6, septa apologized for their crappy service during the parade. I was one of the many frustrated parade-goers who spent hours waiting at the station while ten to fifteeen trains went by and none stopped. they were all being filled to the brim at the ends of the train lines all teh way out in the sticks so that none of us closer to the city could even get on the train and get there in time. as a last resort, my mother had to pick me and my dad up at the train station at 11am and drive us down to the broad street subway line. its a mirical we found a decent spot to stand because there were already a million people there when we arrived at city hall. septa should not have run all the trains all the way out to the ends of the tracks and then back. it was completely unfair to all those who live closer to the city.

Public Transportation doesn’t ahve the capacity for everyone to use it. Blame Ed Rendell for telling everyone to take the trains. It really wasn’t Septa’s fault, they had every car they could have had on the rails that day. Septa isn’t going to redo their schedule just to be “fair”.

Yeah this is basically on target. If you want to go to a once-every-quarter-century event with two million attendees, you’re going to be inconvenienced and you just have to suck it up.
