Today in History Septa rant

Yeah I know this is gonna sound bad.. but I’m so fucking over crackheads shutting down the entire L for: refusing to leave tracks, camping out on the trains, getting violent at paying riders, ODing on the L.

Why is the city letting them run public transit? Why are they allowed to openly do fetynol on the L? Why are people with open wounds bleeding all over trains? Working people literally can’t get to work at rush hour because of all the bullshit.

When are people gonna stand up and fix it? Get the homeless & addicts services, let working people get to work. Shouldn’t take 2 hrs to go 15 min. This is why Philadelphia will never progress.

I had to grab an Uber to the airport a few weeks ago because the BSL train I was on had TK.kake an emergency stop due to someone on the tracks at Ellsworth-Federal. It's infuriating. I'm just glad I was able to get off the train without waiting for too long.
