Reply to comment by Unfamiliar_Word in SEPTA approves $125 million for KOP rail project’s final design by RoughRhinos

I read somewhere else that Septa's board is mostly people from the suburbs so it's on their wish list

Each County (and the City, which is also it's own county) gets 2 reps. So that's 8:2 already. Plus the gov, senate min/maj and house min/maj each get a rep. Being generous, that's still 10:5 (giving the most credit to the gov and 1 rep from each body) in favor of the counties.

Which is a fucking disgrace. 80% of septas riders are in the city.

It's absolutely crazy that the Commonwealth would ever go against their largest economy's interest, when they could instead provide them with services to enable the economy /s
