SEPTA To Doom Us All

081408septa.png

How about that: SEPTA will be rolling out more buses and late-night regional rail trains. Hot dog! Now we can go out and party in Torresdale and come back to Center City at night!

As far as SEPTA goes, the announcement comes with the usual aplomb:

After lowering riders’ expectations for years, SEPTA officials acknowledged the challenges they face in offering more to passengers. “Certainly, there is a risk,” said Pat Nowakowski, assistant general manager for operations. “We will create expectations, and we have to work to make sure we meet them.”

You think that sounds weird, but I’m pretty sure that SEPTA meeting riders’ expectations is a sign of the apocalypse. In that case, it is a bit of a risk.

Expectations, Philly Self-Loathing, SEPTA, WTF
 
  1. Steve Olshewsky Says: Sep 19 12:36 PM

    I saw the 113 bus kill a guy in Darby and stood there watching the “investigation” that led to a false report by SEPTA officials.

    So fulfilling my expectations (lying, cheating, stealing, hurting, killing) would not really be a good thing for SEPTA to do.

    What do you expect of SEPTA if not more of the same?
