Lazy SEPTA summer days begin
Michael
After a damp June, it looks like we're entering the lazy days of summer where life on SEPTA keeps on moving:
July 6: 13 hurt when the 117 bus gets hit by a car running a red light in Chester. Later the same day, 15 hurt when a truch hits the 14 bus in the Northeast.
July 6: A woman gets robbed of her purse as she boards a bus in South Philly.
June 25: SEPTA bus and SUV crash at Washington and 7th Avenue.
June 23: A 22-year-old man (identified by commenters as Joel Chung) hit by R8 at Olney Station.
June 16: A very messy break-up on SEPTA one night is captured by video.
June 15: Pranksters put up fake (and funny) SEPTA signs in regional rail cars.
June 15: Work starts on a $12 million project to fix up the Croydon station on the R7 line.
June 11: The R3 runs over an All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) near Bensalem. Man escapes. Train catches fire.
June 8: A guy robs a bank in Doylestown. He tries to escape on a SEPTA bus. He gets caught.
And finally, via Philebrity, here's a video from 1985 from SEPTA's Board Chair Lewis Gould apologizing for delays on the regional rails. Plus ça change....
