I love the MFL and BSL!!! However, i feel that PATCO should take over those two lines, while Septa only controls their regional rails, buses and trolleys.
@jalfredl Operations wise that wouldn't make sense because PATCO is run by the Delaware River Port Authority, whereas SEPTA is operated on it's own (with state funding). Plus, PATCO is looking to eventually sell off the Lindenwold line...
Definitely!! The reason why wrote that comment was that i previously felt Septa cared more about their about their regional and bus lines than their subway. Now, it would be cool if septa took over patco, then there would be three lines: orange, blue, and red
@jalfredl but SEPTA has no technical jurisdiction in NJ since the PATCO travels mostly in NJ... South Eastern PENNSYLVANIA transit authority is from a different state than NJ... That would never happen - sadly NJ would not allow it...
That's a shame..all i want is for philly to somehow expand it's subway system without expanding it by construction. I'm not from Philly so I cannot speak for the people who live there obviously. It would be cool if septa or patco could expand their heavy rail system, but i doubt it would happen any soon.
love SEPTA - has some of the most interesting transportation out there!

NO I think PATCO should be operated by SEPTA.
