Welcome to Part 2 of my series discussing public transit in Philadelphia. And it's time for one that a lot of people love to talk about: Rapid Transit. Philly's four rapid transit lines are easily one of most varied in all of North America, if not the world, as they are all noticeably different from each other. One of them is even run by a different operator entirely, in fact. But regardless of the diversity of destinations and operations, there seems to be a uniform opinion that Philly has one of, if not the worst rapid transit lines in the country... But does it? Well... that's for you to decide. Regardless of its current reputation, the rapid transit of Philly has an intriguing history, one that may be on the cusp of a new grand chapter, regardless of what the cleanliness of the stations might suggest.
