And for those of you who think it will be a simple answer think agian. Don't just say Frankford Because it touches Frankford TC/Depot......... http://www2.septa.org/notices/pdf/asp2010_rt72_tariff_map.pdf

It will lose time along Adams Avenue by Riasing Sun,a s well as Crescentville Road(Chetenham east, Crescentville south, Adams east, under the R8 bridge). That traffic is unbearable. It will be a Midvale route. The Frankford & Comly operators really don't want any part of anything that runs into Midvale territory. At Comly, the operators with more time shy away from the 70 @ all costs. They'll take the 14 in a heartbeat,& so would I. @ Frankford, the operators with more time will work the J, K & R during the am off peak periods. These operators would probably work an evening block on the 3 or 5 if need be.

Recommended Projects City Transit Division • A Route deviation on Route 89 • New Route 72 from Frankford Transportation Center to Cedarbrook Plaza via Cheltenham Avenue Has it been settled which district the 72 will operate from?

There's a need for a bus route in that corridor...there has been such a need for quite some time. The big thing is funding, which SEPTA needs to be careful of. Once Act 44 goes into place, and they can come up with a decent schedule/routing for the route, it'll come out, likely running out of Midvale in my opinion.

Given the limited service hours proposed, I honestly feel that route would crash and burn. While it would be mostly good for seniors, they don't contribute additional needed revenue. Either rush hour only service to start, or at least a full weekday schedule, then add service as demand warrants....
