r/MARCtrain

Hopefully they get this fixed soon

Hello! Philly girl here. I have seen MARC trains on our tracks the past few days. We are nowhere near the border, and we are not on Amtrak lines. It almost seems like they are using them as repair/towing cars and SEPTA (our transit agency) thrifted them from MARC… Does anyone have a legit explanation?

My friend and I have spent years working around the coffee industry and have always enjoyed the idea of creating a business that combines quality coffee with convenience. Recently, we’ve been exploring the possibility of launching a mobile coffee operation designed specifically for MARC train riders throughout the Maryland and Washington region.

Our goal would be to provide commuters with a fast, reliable source of fresh coffee and breakfast items during the morning rush, helping make their daily commute a little easier and more enjoyable.
We’re currently in the early planning stages and are trying to gauge interest from potential customers. If you regularly ride MARC or use park-and-ride facilities near stations, we’d love to hear your thoughts.

Would you be interested in purchasing coffee from a mobile vendor conveniently located near your station? What types of drinks, food items, hours of operation, or loyalty programs would make you more likely to stop by? Any feedback would help us better understand commuter needs and determine whether this concept could become a valuable addition to the MARC commuting experience.
