SEPTA To Doom Us All

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.
