Try sitting in an R5 Paoli train, bound for Center City.

On a Friday.

And you forgot to wait at work to go pee before you left for the train station.

Then the caternary loses power just before the platforms at 30th Street Station, rendering all inbound PRR-line trains immobile once they pass Overbrook Station.

And this outage lasts 2 hours, after already spending 50 minutes on the ride to begin with.

And you really have to pee.

Bad*.

At least when you wait for the 15 you can just unzip your fly and pee on Girard much like many folks do when near SEPTA property.






*Yes, this is a true story, experienced by Yours Truly.
