It's nice to see good people get exposure. Albert Yee, a professional photographer and food blogger, also runs a blog which collects horror stories about the local transit agency.
[P]eople like Albert Yee, a Philadelphia photographer, say that when SEPTA provides fast, courteous, and clean transportation, the agency is merely doing what it was designed to do.
"That's what's supposed to happen," he said, wondering at the occasional rudeness of bus drivers. "I don't expect them to smile and laugh and tell a joke and shake my hand every time, just to do their job."
Yee collects riders' tales on his Web site, www.SEPTAfail.com. One early post was a photo from Market East Station: A sign that advised passengers, "Direct line to telephone information." And below it, a wire and empty jack. No phone.
"It was," said Yee, "what SEPTA embodies to a lot of people."
