This was so stupid. And I loved every minute of it.

I respect that your need to urban explore via public transit isn't hindered by the typical antipathy folks have for Kensington. Stay brave, fear is a mind-killer.

SEPTA 99: Hold my beer

Route 89 THE Kensington Tour Bus

The 107 is equally as bad

I've never seen two people more excited about counting the turns a bus makes...thanks KZread algorithm! You know me!

Route 89 needed to be investigated by the SVU for inappropriately touching the El route 3 times.

Truth be told elimination is the best thing they can do for the 89 k😅

To everything, turn, turn turn.

One of my favorite things about SEPTA is the

Ok, so after spending nearly an hour looking browsing Wikipedia articles, looking at historic SEPTA/PTC and looking at old satellite images, this is the best story I could come up with for the 89's existence:

Jeremy is way cool, you guys enjoy life, thanks for your energy.

Respect to the bus driver that has to remember this route. I imagine that they don't have GPS, but I'm not a bus nerd.

The 89 used to stop on the corner of my street which was considered the end of the line . It would drive down Venango street and make a turn on Delaware Ave then back up Venango and pull over at a bus stop under the 95 at the corner of Allen and Venango and this was considered the end of its eastbound journey and the beginning of its westbound journey. Then they merged it with the old p bus and that’s how it ended up going thru Frankford .

This is why bus network redesigns are all the rage now.

You guys have to come to the Pocono’s and ride the Pocono Pony. We have 2 routes that’s actually 1 long route from historic East Stroudsburg to Tobyhanna.

Here's one for you, before you graduate and leave Philly: what is the SEPTA bus route that passes the most Wawas?

The 89 was apparently designed to pick up as many people as possible, with only one bus. Thus, the circuitous route.

you should go long distance on public transit only. no greyhound, amtrak-local routes only

Being mildly familiar with various common PA names, listening to the street names was great
