The express train does not stop at Fairmount. The Broad-Ridge line stops at Fairmount.

No man or woman should be catching the subway in this city after 7pm. Now in regards to going to a sixers/flyers/phillies game, I think it's a express train that leaves from Walnut/Locust

Also who in the world is afraid of the Tasker-Morris station? And Milbourne is a perfectly fine little neighborhood. Where are you getting this information?
Also, I was trying to distinguish between the two routes by giving him the list of stops so he wouldn't think they were the same thing. They run down the same tracks but they make different stops.

But that would be dumb

Always ride the subway at that time and do not have a problem.

Well, you could catch the express to Girard and then wait for the local if you're being lazy.

after 7 lol? I'd say the time you should probably be taking a cab instead is 11-2am depending on where you are at.

Unless you are at 69th street, 15th street, Broad and Olney, or Franford, all the other stops are quiet and don't have a lot of riders waiting. You know how desperate criminals are in this city right now and it's no need to be underground and be a easy target after rush hour

Just realized this morning why i hate the Broad Street subway

It's because of the way it's designed which is nothing like the el. On the el all the seats are the same way they are on the bus which all facing in the same direction. On the BSL the way the seats are setup has people staring in each other's face in the morning which forces me to look down at the floor lol

Omg some of yall sound like old ladies "No one should ride the subway after 7pm" ......there is really no other choice when it comes to the buses on Broad St....they 85% are going to get stuck in traffic....plus the constant stop and go and every intersection plus board and alighting....why sit that whole time when you could hop the subway local or express. The Broad St line moves 124k daily.....im sure all of them would tell you the same. You might as not live in the city for that matter since their seems to be a uptight of "Dont go to that station" , "No not after 8pm"........there is always still loads of people out anyway....it really winds down around after rush hour then slowly and gradually. But people ride the system all night. Have anyone of you thought of taking the Regional Rail instead ?
