Well today with the well over 100K expected people who expected to attend the parade. Its been a mess - 69th street terminal for the first time saw tons of crowds trying to get on the EL shuttle. Crews rushed to get equipment on the Routes 100-102 to operate as a double consist versus the normal weekday one consist. Regional Rail service was canceled for 90 minutes for crews to place the right equipment down in center city to meet the demand of the parade. From my observation, the route G was fully loaded from Overbook station so everyone who was trying to caught the G past Overbook station had a long long wait. The 44, the same thing, although SEPTA did managed to get a bus operating on the route 52 to change into the 44. Not the mention the issues, the route 100 operated on single tracks throughout segments of the route. Taken from http://www.philly.com/philly/news/breaking/33633729.html Well when there's 100K people trying to get into the city, running on a schedule should never be a option. |
