SEPTA Riders Do Better Than SEPTA
Since SEPTA hates its customers — a great Philadelphia tradition, I must add — a couple enterprising chaps got together and created iSepta, a little tool for planning trips on one’s iPhone or iPod touch. The tool seems pretty neat — my iPod touch is on the fritz and needs to be sent to Apple to be fixed, shockingly — and should work pretty easily on any phone or similar browser which could use a pretty simple interface. In the meantime, SEPTA will continue to tout its “happiness czar” as a sign of real progress. iSepta |

As always, New York does it better. I know I’ll never bitch about the MTA ever again thanks to the transit authority from hell which is worse than it was in New York back in the 80s and 90s when Dinkins was mayor. The subway here in hell is worse than riding the D train through the Bronx in pre-Rudy times, since it is not only the smells that take you back, but being on edge for the inevitable attack making you wish Bernie Goetz was your traveling companion.
