Why not both

My condolences, hope it will get built so future generations can avoid that.

🤷 gotta make it accurate for Septa I guess

If it was on Septa this would have hundreds of upvotes and people would talk about how they'll never take public transit again.

Think you'd be fine in the right lane. Probably would just assume it was an old person.

Awesome, thank you!

I'd say that regional rail is the same or even worse. Especially Patco serving rich neighborhoods with hundreds of parking spots. It's not about wealth but a lack of development surrounding all commuter rail. Media at least is building some mixed use development and incorporates the stations into the downtown fabric. This also goes for stations in Philly as well.

Dense housing with hundreds of apartments and restaurants, grocery stores, pedestrian paths, bike infrastructure and small businesses all lined up along it. That way more people will use the train and be able to walk to the train. Additionally those stations will see more reverse commuters and action outside of peak commuting time. Train stations should be hubs not just industrial sites and park and rides. There is a housing shortage in the country and looming climate disaster. Build more housing and get more people out of cars.

I think their point is that the riverline and Patco are just park and rides. They could build dense mixed use housing around the stations. A couple years ago Haddon Township built like 7 story apartment buildings like a 4 minute walk from the Westmont station. They sold out immediately going for like 2k for a one bedroom. Clearly demand.

According to new report from JLL on prime urban retail corridors—entitled City Retail 2023 and released at the start of ICSC in NYC—domestic tourism now is exceeding pre-pandemic levels in six major US markets. In a comparison of September 2022 and September 2019 statistics, Miami (129%); Boston (120%); Los Angeles (117%), NYC (112%); Philadelphia (108%); and Chicago (101%) all have exceeded the 2019 level for domestic tourism.

The top three US markets for international arrivals are well behind their totals for 2019, according to ITA numbers, with NYC dropping from 13.5M visitors in 2019 to 5.1M in 2021; Miami, going from a pre-pandemic level of 8.3M to 3.4M in the same period; and Los Angeles dipping to 2.6M from a 2019 tally of 7.6M.

Dang yeah RR scheduling is a travesty. I get annoyed when I visit my fam in jersey and have to wait 10 minutes for a Patco train. Never even check the schedules unless it's past 9pm or a weekend.

Oof why not take transit in?

Bring back the 56 trolley with completed separated tracks. Erie has potential but currently is so car centric and hostile to anything not in a car.

Yeah that was the loudest plane I've ever heard not at an airport

Take it everyday for last 6 years and it's basically still the same but less crowded

Not very many with lights unfortunately
