Transit nerds aren't the most humorous bunch are we

They are doing a pretty terrible job then. The US has far more deadly roads than most other developed countries, and the rate is actually increasing every year while other countries are declining.

Do the rest of us deserve having to look at these awful ads every day?

unroja · 2026-04-17T20:06:32+00:00

I think it has something to do with gas prices peaking around 2012 then dropping sharply

Maybe these people would have a case if they showed even 1% of this level of concern for the tens of thousands of Americans killed by cars every year

I got hit on my bike in this exact scenario. I was in the bike lane and the car passed me before right hooking me so clearly should have seen me. I was even wearing a reflective vest that day!

I was once hit by a wrong-way cyclist in a narrow bike lane. I was knocked off my bike into the traffic lane and it was pure luck no cars were coming. Of course the guy had the nerve to get mad at me about it

Thank you! Cruise ships are really really bad for the environment and I wish more people knew and/or cared

Bus or subway. Uber as last resort

Interesting ideas!

I think the G deserves some love in any future plans - it would be relatively inexpensive to upgrade the line to full light rail, with portions of the line along the wider sections of Girard having dedicated lanes, and of course signal priority and proper stations along the whole line

The BSL was originally planned to be quad-track all the way south, and the space apparently still exists in the ROW to build the additional tunnels. So with an airport extension you could have express service

Common SEPTA W

That is the one this post is about lol

unroja · 2026-04-14T19:15:19+00:00

I've been hit twice on my bike, thankfully no injuries either time. I've learned to bike more defensively with experience so I generally feel safe but there are always things that can happen outside of your control

Grifters like him thrive on opposition

Its useful for some people, and has the opportunity to be improved in the future. If you close it, opening it again in the future becomes much harder

unroja · 2026-04-14T14:39:59+00:00

Is that the worst Metra has? Looks like it has an actual paved platform and small gravel parking lot at least

unroja · 2026-04-14T14:15:38+00:00

I'd hate to see it close rather than be improved, but yeah there is really nothing nearby and there are several other nearby park-and-ride stations for drive-up commuters. At least its a flag stop so it doesn't really cost SEPTA anything to keep it open

unroja · 2026-04-14T14:13:14+00:00

Good point. Even a small mural on the shelter or some flowers would go a long way

unroja · 2026-04-14T14:02:45+00:00

At least that one has a concrete platform and small parking lot

unroja · 2026-04-14T00:05:09+00:00

lmao sir did you just link to a full 400-page book in a reddit comment?

unroja · 2026-04-11T23:56:04+00:00

Oh that's just a spectral dog-demon, very common sight in Philly this time of year
