A tragedy of errors.
Why a city as big as Philadelphia lacks a proper bus terminal (and hasn’t started developing a replacement) is baffling to me.
I would say it’s the mentality but Chicago isn’t doing that well in this regard either. It more generally reflects civic decline there.
There will only be one lettered bus route left (bus K), which will be numericized at a later date.

Insane. Just… shooting yourself in the foot, economically.
Harrisburg hates Philly and everything it stands for.
