Let's hope the old R5 can go all the way to Lancaster while we're at it!!!
And hopefully SEPTA can be smart about investing in rail service from Elwyn to West Chester. WC alone grew from 18,461 in 2010 to 19,928 in 2016, a 7.9% increase. Chester County grew from 498,886 in 2010 to 519,293 in 2017, growing 4.1%. I'm thinking Chester County would have growth of about 8-10% once 2020 Census comes about, giving it about 550K people.
SEPTA needs to understand that it's priorities are serving residents of SE PA and it's not just a moneymaking venture, especially as Philadelphia and the Delaware Valley continues to grow!
