What the hell does it say about America right now that all levels of government are either unable or unwilling to provide basic services, requiring a gambling website to cover things so that people can get to a football game?
Recently SEPTA, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, announced significant service cuts because Pennsylvania's legislature could not come to an agreement on the transit authority's funding. The first round of cuts ended express service to the South Philadelphia Sports Complex, where the Philadelphia Eagles play. But now that has been at least temporarily remedied.
FanDuel has stepped up to provide resources to help fully restore service on SEPTA's Broad Street Line [B] for Thursday, September 4 so that Philadelphia Eagles fans can safely and efficiently get to-and-from Lincoln Financial Field for the home opener.
SEPTA will run regularly scheduled subway trains, plus Sports Express trips, before and after the game . . . The FanDuel sponsorship covers free rides home for fans. The free rides from NRG Station begin at halftime and continue through the end of service.
This is better than there not being any service at all, of course. But what the hell does it say about America right now that all levels of government are either unable or unwilling to provide basic services, requiring a gambling website to cover things so that people can get to a football game?
