New York vs. Philadelphia: Subways

Hello all!  I know it's been a while, but I'm in teacher boot camp so I hardly have any time to blog it up. This next entry is first in a new series that I'm calling "A tale of two cities: New York vs. Philadelphia."  Enjoy my comparison of the public transportation system.

  1. 1. SEPTA? SEPTA?!?

    2. That map makes minimal to no sense. What would be the harm in layering that over an actual map of Philadelphia? Pshh!

    3. Manhattan eliminated the token years ago....because they are RIDICULOUS!

    Manhattan: 1, Phillie: 0

  2. 1. South East Pennsylvania Transit Authority...it's very specific.
    2 & 3. Agreed

    I should also add that Philly has trolleys, which is neat. So...that's something!
