Yea shame that Boston, NYC, Chicago and Camden didn't have a fully functioning system before the Key RFP was even posted.
To your point no one at SEPTA suffered any consequences for the millions in overruns and missed deadlines.

Seriously.
If we're gonna change it make it something related to Constantinople which is where the city name comes from anyway

Reply to Why does cell phone lot exist at airport by LP788
The Cell Phone waiting lot is poorly designed.
There's no punishment for parking on the shoulder with your hazards on.
Human IQ drops to room temperature the closer you get to an airport.

She suffers from savior syndrome but doesn't put in the effort to save anyone.

I'm so happy she's finally getting the media attention she deserves. Turns out eventually all the chickens do come home to roost.
Anyone who's ever operated in Philly political circles know that she does the bare minimum on Council, provides 0 services to anyone who calls her office and is a fucking hypocrite.
The best thing she ever did was found a fairly successful Charter School but she's embarrassed by it.

Reply to This is why you don't park like an asshole. As if the sanitation workers don't have enough to deal with. They tried for 20 minutes and gave up. Now this entire block has trash sitting here until next time. by Adventurous_Key3647
If only we invented some kind of truck that could tow cars that are parked incorrectly.
We could even give it a creative name like "scoopy doopy takey trucky' or something.
We might even have some really unlikable government agency that the Commonwealth had to take over due to corruption or some guy named Blew Lum to take the cars.
Oh well maybe next life people will be held accountable for their actions.

There has been a growing trend of people dumping natural gas appliances and an increase of electric car sales.
Texas gets all of the media coverage but the grid in the northeast is the oldest in the country so we're in for a rough couple of years.

I don't know why this is downvoted. The baggage claim at the airport has a legitimate homeless crisis in the winter as it's used as a makeshift shelter.

Do any of the mayoral candidates have a plan on how they're going to tackle the crisis of mentally ill people assaulting others?
