SEPTA Safety Question

**MisterT** · 02-01-2011, 11:00 AM

So generally when I go to class at Temple I either bike or drive my scooter...but with today's ice coming neither of those seem particularly safe. The most direct route home to Port Richmond is to take the BSL up to Broad and Allegheny and take the 60 bus across. Is that corner "don't do it" unsafe? Never been up there save a few times driving across. I will be there around 8:00-8:30pm.

Broad and Allegheny is fine. I've been there as late as 9 and haven't had any problems.

Great, that is good news. The only other options involve about 3 transfers. Thanks.

Biking isn't that bad. I did it today. Just go slow.

Where in Port Richmond? The 15 is a short walk from Girard up to campus. (~10 minutes)

Ditto. The only problem I've had at that corner at night is that the Tastykake Outlet store is closed and I can't get my Krimpet-fix for a buck.

If the bus driver can do it you surely can....its fine!
