What we heart/don't heart: Do these T-shirts piss you off?
The Web site for the award-winning alternative weekly, the Philadelphia City Paper.
What we heart/don't heart: Do these T-shirts piss you off?
CP contributor/friend of the Clog Jesse Delaney writes sharing these two T-shirt designs from excellent T-shirt site Philavania.com:
If I see someone wearing this shirt I might have to beat him down on sight.
Such is my disgust with SEPTA.

This one, too.

Ehrm, re: the SEPTA one, no. It does not make my blood boil. SEPTA is an average-run public transit system. No more, no less. The routes I utilize most regularly (BSL, The EL, trolleys, and the 23, 54, 5, 15, 48, 32, 27 and C buses) are rarely late (except the C. Groan.), and the fares are about average for a city of this size. With the exception of SEPTA still taking tokens and dragging their feet (kunckles?) to install MetroCard machines, and perhaps the ongoing struggle to find a balance in demand from consumers and influence from their operator union, and maybe their transfer system, for a city of 5+ million people, SEPTA seems to be doing a comparable, if not better, job than other transit authorities of the same size. Oh, you want an example? Atlanta's BART system SUUUUUUCKS. Yes, SEPTA is not Boston or DC's metro system, but it'll do just fine. p.s. I think the design is nice.
If you think SEPTA sucks, you should se other cities, especially Washington DC.
the DC metro is great if you live inside the beltway. If your outside the beltway, do not stay past 7:00pm or you will have no way home.
The shirt (and SEPTA) are pathetic. SEPTA imagines that running hybrid diesel buses makes it "green." Hogwash. Real electric trolleys can be run with 100% renewable electricity -- cities like Calgary have done this. But SEPTA refuses to run electrics on trolley lines 23, 29 and 79. This stinks. Question for SEPTA: If hybrid diesel buses are so green, then why is there a three inch wide exhaust stack on the roof?
Design is okay. I'd like to see http://twitter.com/mustloveSEPTA on a T-shirt (designed by Phillyist's _missbee).
Zoltan hits the nail right on the head. But it's Vancouver, not Calgary that has the large trackless trolley system in Canada, using a hydro-electric generating system to power it. Seattle and San Francisco also have large trackless trolley fleets, powered by a hydro-electric source.
