SEPTA news!

[we_like_ike]

By now, many of you have probably noticed or even made use of the new routes SEPTA has given Phoenixville. Personally I think there's been kind of a give-and-take, but at least we now have 2 options to get to King Of Prussia.

Changes/Additions relevant to us:

• Route 99 now terminates in Phoenixville, at Main and Church streets. (more info here)
• Route 139, the smaller bus that you see around, goes between the Philadelphia Premium Outlets and KoP, via Royersford, the north side of Phoenixville, and Valley Forge Park (schedule here).

With the addition of the new 139 route, GVF Transportation has decided to discontinue its Suburban Link service, which traveled from the Collegeville Shopping Center to GlaxoSmithKline in Upper Merion, making stops at the offices of Quest and GSK in Collegeville, as well as passing thru Phoenixville and straight on to KoP via Valley Forge. I'll miss it, since this was a pretty decent route that only cost $1 one way; on the other hand the 139 kind of makes up for it by running all day. Now, if they'd just put in a line that went to Paoli...

Also, I hope you all don't mind, but I've changed the layout of the community page a little.
