Objectively, I've had bad experiences on SEPTA. Every now and then, a train car smells awful. There's druggies everywhere. Some mentally ill folk will start yelling, etc. Train stations smell like piss and cigarette smoke. Objectively, I understand why a lot of people are scared of, hesitant of, or dislike SEPTA.
But for some reason... I just enjoy it. I'm fascinated by it. It brings people from all walks of life together. It gives you a sense of reality and community. It's got personality... It's got Philadelphia personality. It summarizes the city, in a way.
I grew up in a wealthier suburb where I very rarely encountered homelessness, severe mental illness, etc. I was sheltered. Being in Philadelphia and especially being on SEPTA, feels so much more authentic. Like I'm experiencing real life.
I'm sure it helps that I'm male too.
Does anyone else feel the same?
