Don't You Wish Your Trolley Was Hot Like Mine?

Save your energy to run the Rocky steps by jumping on the Purple ride to the Art Museum. You don’t have to be huffing and puffing as you run (because running the steps and pretending to be Rocky isn’t embarrassing enough).

There’s a map at every Phlash stop to bring out the tourist in you. Take it to a whole new “are we there yet?” tourist level and open up the fold up map that you took from the trolley. And unlike Septa maps, they’re easy to understand.

Instead of sticky leather cab seats or cramped bus seats, this Trolley has wooden benches to give it the real authentic Trolley feel. Oh and did I mention the colonial flute music to give it the historic Philly vibe? Then add the multiple flat, flip down TV screens featuring Philly hot spots, and suddenly this Purple Trolley is pimped out. Maybe I’ll see if MTV will resurrect “Pimp My Ride” and really pimp this trolley out (I’m thinking disco ball, a cheesesteak machine, etc)

Reading Terminal Market is kind of like a food court on steroids. I think I might have gained 5lbs after I played musical stool, rotating among DiNics pork sandwich, Delilah’s Mac & Cheese, Tokyo Sushi Bar, Famous 4th St Cookies, and my favorite, the baked apple dumpling with fresh cream at the Amish restaurant.
So after this eating frenzy you might need to sprawl out on an entire bench in the Trolley and just take a nap.

A cab ride to and from the Zoo might cost you a Ben Franklin in traffic instead of the 5$ all day Phlash fare. Even the monkeys would laugh at you for taking a cab. And nobody likes being laughed at by a monkey.

Ok, this is a huge selling point for freelancers, like myself, who don’t have cash to throw around in cabs. And it’s cheaper than the $2.75 bus fare. My 5$ all day pass has been used well. I’m on a first name basis with the drivers. All the cool kids are. oh wait, that’s not cool? damn, I was so close this time.
