I literally never understood why people were waiting along the side of the road 😂 I also never understood why the “cell phone lot” existed, such a horrible name.

I’ll throw Sellersville into the ring solely for the Sellersville Theater - great place for live music!

The benefit of living where I live (Blue Bell) is that there are numerous options to choose from. I can choose Manayunk / Norristown, Lansdale / Doylestown or Glenside. Glenside, Ambler and NTC have large surface lots so I normally frequent those.

Parking fees have been suspended at Septa surface lots since March 2020! At the stations I frequent, there are numerous signs that say parking fees are suspended until (date), now they say “until further notice.” The Septa web site says the same on their parking page.

I didn’t think anyone was collecting from the coin slot banks, so I wonder if money is piling up in them or how much they can accept before they get full?

Sorry you’ve been paying all this time!!

Oh interesting! So they actually worked for awhile! I frequent the Norristown Transportation Center and the coin slot to pay for parking is still there, but so are the kiosks. Periodically they’d update the signage on them all to say “Welcome back! Parking is free until X.” I haven’t seen what they say now that it’s 2023. Has to be ultra confusing if you’re a new rider …

Why would you do that when Septa lots are just $1 -and- they are free on weekends!

I always did haha, and when I take longer trips I parked my car for multiple days at a time. Beats parking at PHL, that’s for sure, especially now with what they’re charging. And I had to write a check to pay for the Septa parking. A check. The back of the coin slot box has a slot in the back for envelopes. You have to write out your parking space, car make & model, dates you’re parked, etc. It’s a whole … archaic process lol.

Yes it really is all day! I’ve seen it in person, I’ve seen the Fancy Brigades judging in person (highly recommend) and I’ve seen it on TV. Going to be a TV person this year!

Hoping for all rain and nooo snow

I’ve been taking Septa for years and still haven’t mastered it - and I’m only talking about Regional Rail & the MFL / BSL.

The only “benefit” now is that the pandemic killed ridership - Septa still isn’t at pre-COVID rider levels, especially on the RR. I ride often and generally feel safe, but there are some obvious poor/high…unwell people riding at times.

WHY have a mobile option that isn’t linked to the Septa Key?! How does this make ANY sense?!!

World Cafe Live is awesome! I was literally just there 2 nights ago. I used to always drive but now I take Septa to 30th and walk (I live in Blue Bell).

They just built a super nice parking garage right at the corner of 30th & Walnut, too, where Circa Green is, giant green P sign for parking on the outside. I’ve never tried parking there but I would give that a shot.
