New PATCO station opened yesterday. (It’s not really new; it was a ghost station that closed in 1979).


Chelbi Lea got off at the Franklin Square stop after leaving 8th and Market station because the unfamiliar stop made her think she had boarded a train heading in the wrong direction. She was struck by the contrast between the two stations. (Emma Lee/WHYY)

Traffic doesn’t seem that bad in Center City. Granted some streets are very narrow.

Every city with a sizable transportation network should be taking notes.
