Get the septapus mug.A transit agency for the Philadelphia region. Gifted with a great system inherited from the PTC, P&W, Red Arrow, PRR and Reading Railroad, but hamstrung by a shitty management almost from their start in the 1960s. They ignore the city while pandering to the suburbs, fucking over the source of 60 or more percent of their ridership. They are simultaneously cursed and blessed by many residents of Philadelphia.
Also a killer of trolley lines, and inventor of bustitution.

SEPTA must pull random times for their schedules out of their ass; their buses or trains are always late.
