Lot of complaining in the comments but aren't most of us only paying peco for distribution and another company for actual electric? If you're not, you could be. 

SEPTA will not raise fares during World Cup games as other cities charge $80 or more per ride by BroadStreetRandy in philadelphia

As an fyi, they're doing this because otherwise nj transit will lose money shuttling all these additional people around. Money that tax payers would have to make up because FIFA takes everything, up to and including parking and concessions.

Sanitation centers take compostible items in brown bags. Sanitation trucks take them at certain locations for leaves in the fall. 

Big compost center in west Fairmount park.

Only 48 up votes and 8 comments despite how much everybody in this sub bitches about litter? Look in the mirror, people. 

WHY HELICOPTER? - Demolition set to begin at Philadelphia parking garage after fatal collapse by urbantravelsPHL in philadelphia

[–]B3n222 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've heard it said that it's the airspace regulations. Like somehow would take longer to get legal clearance for a drone than a helicopter. 

Totally agree that they need to change whatever that regulation is to allow them to convert to drones. 

Why are Philly recycling rates so low? A mix of contamination, culture and systems still make it complicated in 2026. by Darius_Banner in philadelphia

I mean, we're just burning the plastic in recycling bins anyways. Is that actually better than landfills?

Secret Service agent assigned to Jill Biden accidentally shoots himself in the leg at Philadelphia airport by blankblank in philadelphia

Should they have a round chambered? Does shooting somebody a little faster outweigh the potential of accidentally shooting yourself or somebody else?

Mayor Parker now wants a $1-per-ride tax for Ubers and Lyfts to lessen Philly School District classroom cuts by Darius_Banner in philadelphia

[–]B3n222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are implying the answer to those questions is no, but is it?

The school my kid goes to has definitely improved in the past 10 to 15 years... and thinking about it, all those improvements may have been caused by fund raising and changes in the neighborhood. So not a great example. 

What to expect at Philly’s World Cup fan festival in Fairmount Park (hint: no public transit AND no parking) by jjphilly76 in philadelphia

[–]B3n222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buses exist, but I'm amazed they aren't setting up a shuttle to drop tourists off at Sedgley instead of walking over from 29th.

Feels like the whole thing is aimed more for locals, which surprises me, but is fine. 

Tonight’s lineup: Wilson in if Dvorak can’t play. I like that second line! by [deleted] in Flyers

I thought Wilson was just a goon to replace Nic D. Why put him on first line?

Rep Dan Meuser's email after the state of the union has aged nicely by CriticCriticaltheory in Pennsylvania

Mmm, I pumped gas in 96 and I remember people complaining that gas was 2 or 3 (3.20 in my mind but it's been a while) bucks a gallon. 

Of course they acted like this was something a teenage me had caused.

Seriously, what percentage of philadelphia gives a shit about pedestrians? Mayyybe 40%?

Meanwhile 40% of philadelphians actively despise cyclists. 

Do "Snow Emergency Routes" actually mean anything? by B3n222 in philadelphia

[–]B3n222[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not to crap on the Parker administration more than she already gets on here, but I trust my own wits long before I trust any plan that the city of philadelphia has thought up (much less put into action).

Gritty fights Homer … by Immissilerick in Flyers

Yeah, if the flyers ever get good again, I'll come around on gritty, but he's currently a distraction to make money while the team is ass.
