A rant from rider Paul about the lovely indoor weather SEPTA's buses seem to have. This is not the first time someone has written in about this issue. Different route.
I have a rant about when It rains on SEPTA.
On Dec 9, 2009, It was raining violently in the morning. I needed to take the 67 to school but the rain was an extreme problem. When my mom dropped me off at Knights & Fairdale, it felt like a monsoon was coming and the bus didn't come for another 15 minutes. I was entirely soaked from pockets to shoes. My shoes had a hole in them and water seeped through them. The 67 was 5 minutes late. The back of the bus was a total nightmare. The back seats were soddened with water, and water was leaking through the ceiling, even in the front! I sat down in a front seat, and it was wet, even though it looked dry. God knows what has been in that water! Water was also dripping from the ceiling, I first realized that when I was using my PDA, 2-5 drops of water fell on it and it almost froze and broke. I had to walk to school, and got even wetter. When I got home, my shoes dried overnight. I used my dad's old shoes the next day.
Surely there's money somewhere in the budget to not have it rain inside the bus eh?
