A Guide to Philadelphia's Transit: Of Potential and Frustration
Welcome to the finale of my introduction to public transit in Philadelphia, and it's here where we talk about the humble workhorses of the city, the busses and the trolleys. Yes, we still have trolleys, and they are legitimately some of the best transit you will ride on. Both of them are slated for big updates going into the coming years. One of them is doing quite well, and the other is... struggling... for a while... It's a system with a fascinating history, an intriguing if frustrating present, but a hopeful future, and it's worth looking into to see the transit that makes the City of Brotherly Love tick on the day to day, where it's strong, where it's weak, and where it can become an example for the world the way that the Eagles did.
