A Fare Race

Today we took the train out to Germantown to perform in somebody's home. A couple of audience members texted and called to say that their bus was running late. Why didn't they just take the commuter train? It's faster, more reliable, and doesn't have to contend with traffic. It's also more expensive, and although this might not be the reason that these folks chose the bus, many people do choose slower transit options to save money. I don't take that into account for myself because public transit is half price for visually impaired people. So if a blind person and a sighted person each pays SEPTA the same fare to get from central Philly to Germantown, the blind person will get there first.
