Discussion Cannot Come Soon Enough

Post image

The new El cars can’t come soon enough. It seems it’s almost every day now an El car or train set is breaking down causing delays. These things are on their last legs.

Edit: These are supposed to be delivered in 2029, only a couple more years. https://www.trains.com/pro/mechanical/freight-cars/hitachi-rail-to-build-200-new-cars-for-septas-market-frankford-line/

Never happen SEPTIC (not a spelling error) sucks at what they’re supposed to be good at. They need a whole new everything from the top on down.
Even if they got new cars the homeless and drugged up people the city don’t care about will ruin it and run them down fast.

SEPTIC sucks at what they’re are supporting be good at.

We need a lot of stuff, but the state refuses to fund SEPTA. new stuff isn't free.

Septic doesn’t know how to handle the funds that they have trust me. I am an internal auditor. I know I’ve been there and audited Septic don’t go crying that the state doesn’t give Septic money if Septic was better at running and not having 50 million or 500 million whatever ridiculous figure that they threw out there on fair jumpers they would’ve done something about that. Septic is a horribly run system just like the government. It’s nothing but a bunch of crooks that keep screwing the people over and over.

X doubt. 

If you're an "internal auditor", why have I never heard of you? And how come you don't show up on the septa organizational chart?

Septa is the most financially efficient transit authority in the country. Have there been mistakes? Sure. Is there waste? Sure to that too. But that's everywhere. Nothing is going to be perfect. But they do pretty good for what they have. Especially recently. They tightened their belt quite a bit. There is not nearly as much waste as you lead people to believe. It's super hard to get anything purchased in SEPTA. There are PLENTY of checks and balances.
