For ten years I didn't drive, taking Septa everywhere. It gets better; I had to travel daily for my job.

I was a printer technician in Center City from 2000 through 2010. My only transportation was Septa and I hit between three and eight different locations every day. Random locations, not the same places. Not even always in the city, I had to take a train more than once.

It takes a while, but you memorize the network. I did start smoking cigarettes, lighting one seemed to mainke the bus show up. Some days I made the sextifecta, riding a train, trolley, Market/Frankford, Broad Street line, busses, and the grand prize an electric bus (from overhead wires like a trolley).

You can go anywhere on Septa. At any daylight hour.
