If you have not heard already, SEPTA was recently named the “Best Transit System in North America.”

Really?!?

I mean, I’m not totally shocked … but really?

Stop and think about how big and convenient SEPTA is as a whole. Some people only take the train, so that’s all they know. Some take the bus, some take the subway, and so on and so forth.

To put it in perspective, this is how extensive SEPTA is:

• 144 Total Routes
• 117 Bus Routes
• 13 Regional Rail Lines
• 9 Light Rail Lines
• 2 Subways
• Much, much more.

That’s a pretty extensive system when compared to other US cities; big or small. Sometimes it’s good to know that what we have is considered to be the best.
