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

While I agree we need more rail infrastructure, worth noting the population in Philly is still several hundred thousand less than it was in the 70's.

Right, but there are more people in the metro area. And those people in the metro area are quite frankly a lot more likely to take the train into the city than they are to move into the city.

SEPTA seves South Eastern Pennsylvania, not just Philly, and Bucks county alone has over 200k more people than it did in the 1970s, pretty sure MontCo population has gone up even more than Bucks.
