Philadelphia deserves so much more

A city of this size and quality having transit this fucking awful and unreliable is an embarrassment and stain on this state. Shame on every single assclown in elected office that has dragged their feet on funding for basic maintenance and sorely needed upgrades. It’s a fucking disgrace and republicans can eat a fat dick forever. Do everything you can to get every one of these assholes out of office

I don't believe 4,000,000 people/yr visit the Rocky statue. Seeking a source of the info.

Shoutout u/hatramroany for this

At the Rocky statue, the estimate is based on geographic information system technology that uses cell-phone data to count foot traffic. Even if you aren’t there for the statue itself, if you walk or stand near it long enough, you count as foot traffic.

I heard this claim and just straight up don't believe it. 11,000 people a day? 458 people an hour 24/7? 8 people a minute regardless of rain, shine, snow?

I canNOT find the source of this claim, only a bunch of articles citing the number. Please someone tell me how they came up with this figure.

Indego Promos

Does anyone know how often Indego runs their $1 a month deal (or a similar promo)? I signed up last week for one month and I love it! I can't really justify the annual membership because I'd hardly use it in the winter and I already own bikes of my own, but it's a great solution to the last mile dilemma. I'm trying to convince more friends to give it a try!
