Philly has an amazing public transit system, its just some of the people who ride it, give it a bad rep. I love riding Septa!

The Market Frankford line is my favorite line by Septa, and I like how the stations are just like the New York Subway stations

because both were built with the Cut and Cover method. so they have similar designs.

I was planning on moving to NYC when I retire, but Philly is so much less expensive, so now it's crept into my mind. Am I missing the reason it's so cheap?

@@TrainsFerriesFeet some of the apartment neighborhoods around downtown aren't the best but that may have changed since I lived there in 2013. I think it's mostly because Philadelphia isn't New York. That's why it's so much cheaper. Make sure to live on a subway/El, trolley, or regional rail line because driving into downtown is a nightmare. The red arrow and subway surface trolley lines are 👌👌👌 and will he getting new trains in the next few years if what I've heard is correct. Philadelphia also has one of the best commuter rail networks in the nation.

Yes even in car body width CTA is 9' 4" The MFL is 9'3" the only major difference is the track gauge and car body length . Greetings from Chicago Illinois

QuarioQuario54321 I'm not certain that the heavy rail shown here is, but all of their trolley lines use "Pennsylvania Trolley Gauge" (5' 2.5") because, at one time, that was a popular standard. Pittsburgh, PA light rail still uses it, but they have converted to pantograph from trolley pole. New Orleans still uses that gauge too.

QuarioQuario54321 At the time The EL was built, broad gauge or PA Trolley gauge was more popular in Philly because at that time Philly was 99.9% Trolleys.
