Another example of Philly incompetence, corruption, and terrible decision making. The morons running SEPTA decided to replace their functional 1960s produced trains with the cheapest foreign made trains and then had them assembled by union workers in South Philly. After 4 years of service all of the new trains are defective and could derail at any time. These boobs now have to take 33% of their fleet offline for months.
You can be sure this company has feathered the nests of the politicians who chose them. When black thugs aren’t terrorizing passengers on the platforms, their brand new trains are falling apart. They are so well run that revenue comes up only $850 million short of expenses. Taxpayers are forced to subsidize their massive loss. Maybe another advertising campaign using taxpayer funds will rectify this slight problem. Philly is the clusterfuck capital of the world. I can’t wait for the DNC in three weeks.
