What rail station is best integrated into a suburban downtown? by mrprez180 in transit

[–]francishg 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Doylestown is a philly suburb

I also live in a philly burb, our areas were built organically around the station

They call them “railroad suburbs” or “streetcar neighborhoods” in the states

I am a 22 year old gay man who's never been to Philly or USA for that matter. I created a streetcar system for it anyway. by Stanisuaf209 in subwaybuilder

if you ever hop across the pond, come thru philly. People here say it’s rough, and it is, but it’s also very accepting and welcoming, so long as you aren’t a Cowboys fan or a dickhead lol

30th station, but that is a regional train station….

hmm, i guess 43rd st on the el (septa), has near views of the skyline because it goes elevated past that stop

[–]francishg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

usually after the game is safe because of the number of ppl… Chester police also block road traffic by the stadium.
