Rt 35 today - PhillyBlog

I got this off of Septa's website. Today, the 35 isn't going to be 95% of its route. Why bother running it, may I ask?

They could've done a better loop by going down Leverington to Umbria and up Domino, but I'm seriously just wondering why they're even running it, if its only going to hitting its Ridge stops. Wouldn't the 9 cover that and they could save some gas by benching the 35 today?

you mistake the primary purpose of septa.

it exists for the employees. any service it provides riders is incidental.

And yes, not running the route, even if it is not on it's regular route is taking money away from the divers that day....
