PW Twitter friend Brokey McPoverty draws our attention to her rant about SEPTA's 46th Street train station. An excerpt:

"okay, firstly? the escalators NEVER work. there are two escalators. nearly every day, one is out of service. now, i have my lazy moments, but i dont fall into a fat fit because i have to walk up a flight of stairs. i go for the stairs most times anyway. but to know that MY tax dollars paid for this shit and it has the nerve to be inoperable and unusable most of the time? hell no. fix it or give me some form of a refund.

"that’s reason number one why the station sucks.

"reason number two is the bright, clean, pretty sales window that HAS NEVER BEEN OPENED SINCE THE STATION ITSELF HAS. wtf is your problem?? why do you think this is okay, septa??! can i tell u quickly why it isnt okay? because i cannot tell you how many times i have stood in a line longer than the one at the gates of heaven to put my $2 fare @ the fare window because everybody in front of me is buying transpasses and 10 packs of tokens and using debit cards and standin around waitin for change and shit AS MULTIPLE TRAINS PASS US ALL BY."
