Hey Man, Can't We All Just Get Along?
Phillyist Framed Returns!

Whole Hog Is All Heart
As previously reported on Phillyist, SEPTA shut down the Market-Frankford El from 52nd Street to 69th Street starting at 8 pm on July 15th. While they had no problem starting their project on-time, they did have a problem finishing it on-time. The Market-Frankford El was not fully operational as of 5 am, but trains were able to enter the stations at 8:30 am. Outbound trains started departing the 69th Street Station at 9:00 am.
Prior to this project, SEPTA easily would have missed the deadline by at least a day, maybe two. Thus, we have concluded that they are indeed "getting there." Although, to be certain, they certainly aren't there yet. And why should they bother getting there at all? They've spun not quite getting there into a long-lasting campaign.

SEPTA's customer alienating approach towards mass transit is the biggest joke I've experienced since moving to Philadelphia 6 months ago. Transpasses should be the standard with FREE TRANSFERS, and there should be more bus north-south bus service to acommodate for having most routes going east west (mass transit in South East Philly SUCKS!)
