I hate that teachers have to beg, but here I am begging to please buy stuff for my 7/8 grade South Philly bilingual kids! If you want to contribute to a bigger thing but can’t buy the whole thing Venmo me and every cent goes to my class Duncan Davidson-gromko amazon.com/registries/gl/…

Waiting 15 minutes for this damn subway because septa had to do a hiring freeze until a budget is passed and their operator turnover is so high that they drop like flies

The 127 was a lifeline for me when I was 18-20 years old. I didn't have the means to learn to drive, could hardly pay rent. People who grew up with nothing, people trying to get their life together, they rely on these transit lines. If they fail I fear Lower Bucks will get worse.

First, just look at the present. SEPTA's budget is $1.75b. The most similar system, the MBTA, is spending $2.5b. Like SEPTA, they get less than $500m in fare revenue. So the extra $750m in operating expenses is all subsidy. SEPTA is asking for less than 1/3rd of that difference.

I was living in Orlando when the pulse shooting happened. To have the state come and paint over a memorial makes my blood boil. Unhinged level of cruelty

No more sports express and 12 minute headways instead of 8. If your train is a no show (often) you jump from waiting 16 minutes to 24! This is only the beginning man
