As a subway newbie, can someone tell me whether this means I could hop onto the subway on broad street in south philly and take it directly to the KOP mall without worrying about transfers or w/e?

Sadly no, it’s 2 transfers, and extra zone charges.

Well that's fucking bullshit, I thought they'd at least connect it to the main system. Why even bother?

The rail that goes out there is actually pretty decent I used to take it as part of my commute, but it’s a pain in the ass the use. I guess it gets like 90% there so they figure why not extend it but it’s like priority 10005 for actual riders of SEPTA, and as many have said it would probably be better served as a bus rapid transit.

You’d have to transfer at 69th St after transferring to the EL.
