I'd honestly prefer it if they gave certain places more than one stop. Pottstown could probably get two, and Reading alone could have 2-3 while the surrounding suburbs could get probably 2-3 more.
Past the Reading area not sure how worth it would be honestly.

Reply to comment by nalgene_wilder in Hot take: bus rapid transit on the boulevard would be better than a subway by avo_cado
For a city with a GDP of ~$500 billion, a project like this which would have returns basically immediately would be worth it I think.

Buses just get stuck in traffic all day and I feel like there's not enough political will to convert one of the many lanes to a BRT lane.
The subway won't really affect current drivers in any way other than construction and pedestrians, so imo it should be the priority. It won't even be that expensive to get up and running either especially since it would be an extension of the BSL.

Hopefully SEPTA can get better funding from the PA government some day. Dems getting control of the state House helps.

Yeah either Manayunk, Wissahickon, and/or North Broad would be a good connection point w/ North/NW Philly.

Honestly this will do more to alleviate traffic on 76 than the KOP line ever would have. Other than hooking up the Roosevelt Boulevard Subway and connecting West Chester to Regional Rail, this is easily the most exciting prospective project.
I wish they would include Birdsboro as a stop, and have an extension to Oaks since the rail leads right to the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center. And once they get this hooked up to Norristown, I'd also like their train to stop at the Wissahickon station on the way to CC too :)

It's why NY might be less like this since so many locals are being priced out

One of the roads to really avoid in Philly. Honestly even worse than Henry Ave and Lincoln Highway.

It's a city, you can handle several issues at once.
And check out notjustbikes if you think walkability/bikeability isn't important. It absolutely is in a city.

Reply to comment by rmh2188 in In your opinion, which neighborhood is the worse to drive in? by RoverTheMonster
We need less people driving through Manayunk. Another bridge would encourage more people to come and create more traffic.

Are you suggesting more sprawl and more traffic would be better? Would you rather have 4000 move to Plymouth Township and then drive through Conshohocken every day?
