I'd maybe hit them up via chat for a reset or something, tell them your issues. I'm in EF and walk my dog several miles a day all around the neighborhood, haven't encountered any dead zones (although I'm not one of those people buried in my phone the whole walk, I do take it out occasionally to check/respond to messages).

tbf the unannounced bus detours are usually not Septa's fault but more poor communication from the contractors working on the roads. The amount of times I've seen a bus pull up at an intersection of a closed road and have to let everyone off to walk to a different stop, when the driver clearly didn't even know about the construction, is pretty ridiculous. On the other hand Septa knows about their planned rail work so the app will pop up notifications about those and their impacts well in advance.

This is such a good point. I used to take buses everywhere in the 90s. It definitely used to get more difficult the further out in the burbs you got, but overall don't remember it being particularly difficult. Now, even with all the apps, I definitely struggle a bit more.

Also, it's by sales. When I go to TJs and walk out with a couple of bags, it's always like half the price as getting (what seems to be) the same amount at Giant. Not to mention the amount people are buying at a Giant/ShopRite/Walmart vs TJs - I see over-flowing carts for big families at Giant and more conservative hauls at TJs (albeit the selection is more limited).

Reply to comment by Vexithan in Wissahickon Brewery in East Falls may be on the way out due to PECO by PettyAndretti
The challenge will be finding that much space. This brewery has gotten insanely popular and it's packed almost every time I go in there. The main room, the big open warehouse room in the back, the tent outside. Plus they have the space for 2 food trucks to set up in the lot and a ton of parking.
