I did in fact ride the Direct both ways, starting at the Mall to Frankford, then later on Frankford to the Mall. While not a lot of business, I can only presume ( and hope) it will catch on. Many people on the local 14 so if they get used to the fact that there is a faster way, perhaps they;ll make the switch. Septa needs to advertise; not sure of what they are doing.The Direct did move along pretty good, long distances without stopping. I like the fact that the bus is express or limited right from the start, unlike here in NY where the limiteds and/ or Select Buses make many stops before getting to the "skip" zones. And the 14 runs end to end with the Direct, which is hit & miss here in NYC. One poor slob made the mistake of getting on the Direct when he wanted the local. Driver would not stop and let him off, which I agree with. Only way to learn. Perhaps Septa should continue the Direct wrap all the way around the front of the bus, since people don't read the destination sign. Maybe that would help. Also the regular front looks like the job is incomplete. jrc |
