between regional rail and “septa metro” (which includes the el, bsl, nhsl, and trolleys) septa has 358 miles of track. metrorail has 129.
Holy crap. Is the total length of rail roughly the same too?

incredible that even the game thinks the nhsl kop extension (m2 from norristown m3 from 69th street) is a terrible idea

It really sucks that septa spent so much effort on the NHSL KoP extension when it would have been obviously more useful to make a Regional Rail line extension from Norristown to KoP instead

not only does the nhsl count as a separate mode, the suburban trolleys count as a different mode than the subway-surface trolleys

I have a church leadership meeting out on the main line today and I convinced 2 people to bike+train with me on the Norristown High Speed Line.

Funny thing about people claiming that SEPTA doesn't spend money efficiently is that they are the kings of demanding to see the manager.
Late El cars, Adtrans redid the signals
Broken SV's cars, Hyundai refurbished the bomber fleet
Late NHSL cars, ABB gave them a free locomotive

This is the expansion to Regional Rail. They've had pay-as-you-go contactless available for fixed fare Metro services (MFL/BSL/NHSL/trolley/bus) for a while now.
