Hi there,

The first time I came to Philadelphia, I had absolutely no idea about how good and dense the system was. SEPTA clearly saved the system after the bankruptcy of the PRR and Reading lines in the 70s. They've made some adjustments, and now we have what is probably one of America's finest commuter systems.

Huge thanks to @alanthefisher for showing me around in Philly, be sure to check out his channel

Enjoy, and don't forget to like/leave a comment to help the channel :-)
