Philadelphia Metro System

Map is Public
created 75 weeks ago
updated 13 weeks ago
What if the process for building public transit in the US wasn't so complicated with bureaucracy, red-tape, and outsourcing of work to private contractors? This map is what I think that could look like. The whole SEPTA system (besides regional rail/ commuter) is shown. The entire system is modernized, with the trollies in use being replaced with a modern streetcar fleet. The trollies are mostly either scrapped or in museums, but some are stored for heritage service during special days. The entire system is now accessible for disabled persons. Line S4 was constructed to serve the rapidly growing redevelopment area where the Philadelphia Energy Solutions Refinery was located. Full decommissioning and decontamination took place before plans were put into action. Over 80,000 Units of Housing are to be built when fully finished, as well as a new hub for life sciences and research. Metro Lines such as Broad Street (Line 1), and Market Frankfort (Line 2) have been extended and modernized with overhead electrification and complete redesign of all stations. The Norristown High Speed Line has also been completely modernized and integrated into the rest of the system. Overhead electrification and through running service on select trains to City Center has occurred as well. Due to this, the Norristown HSL Line is now just Line 4. All lines of the Metro have overhead electrification and modern, clean, and good-looking rolling stock.
