I work in west and stopped taking the El last year because of the vibes despite its convenience relative to my apartment and office. Would rather bike the 3 miles on indego than deal with all the bullshit the train has to offer

Your post says it all: SEPTA sucks. Not because we don’t have good rail lines or stations or buses or trolleys. We have all that. We have awful management of the public transit service.

Riding a bike 3 miles in the city is way more dangerous.

because of the cars you mean? i have to bike through the badlands of north philly almost everyday, twice a day. i'd say i feel more danger from cars than from some sort of random attack or shooting (and i have been doing this commute for 9 years). i would also be more trapped in an El car than on a bike if i was in the proximity of an emerging dangerous situation, and i don't think that would make me feel safer.

Yes more cyclists get killed in traffic accidents in cc than people shot on the El
