The most useless thing in the world

[yagathai]

Gentle (*snigger*) reader: You know I don't lapse into gratuotous profanity all that often, so I hope that you will forgive the following lapse: The new SEPTA mobile website, www.septa.org/m , is the most useless fucking website on the planet.

When I am checking the SEPTA site from my phone, there are two things that I want to know: how to get from point A to point B, and when my train/bus/whatever is arriving.

If anyone can use that site to figure out how to get from Suburban station to Ridley Park station, and what the train schedule is for that route, you're a better man (gender inclusive) than I.

Though I was under the impression that all SEPTA trains were R-somethings, and the phrase "Next to Arrive" doesn't really scream "Hey, the train schedule info is under here!" to me.

Correct. What line is it? I don't know. And that isn't the full schedule by any means.

ALL I WANT IS A TRAIN SCHEDUlE.

Or how about an app that DOES THE ENTIRE SEPTA SYSTEM???? When I'm already in the city, I don't give a shit about what train is next til it's time to go home.

Ugh, so annoying.

theres an app called "the next train" for the iPhone that you can get and then download the train schedules for whatever city you're in.
