I mean…the ridership is still really low. Nearby and Noteworthy: Gamblin’ and shoppin’. The cost of running this thing is negligible – why not do it? Suburban routes in Bucks County, which Parx Casino is in, run out of SEPTA’s Frontier Division near the Plymouth Meeting Mall! So some buses doing that trip just happen to run in service as the 150. Pros: Except the buses on this route are actually non-revenue pullouts running in service. The Saturday service is completely different from weekday, with trips way earlier in the morning for some reason. Look at it: it’s a bizarre express route that gets very few people, the farebox recovery ratio is a miserable 7%, and the schedule is all over the place – it seems to run whenever it wants and however often it wants, with no consistency anywhere. This thing is mostly used by seniors heading to the casino to gamble.Ĭons: Yes, I’m actually starting with cons, because it seems like they’re all this thing has. Everyone knew each other, including the driver. My trip got 5 people, and on a daily basis the route gets 43. Route: 150 (Parx Casino to Plymouth Meeting Mall)
