Lindsay works at the Cira Center in Philadelphia (located next to 30th street station). Its location is possibly one of the best for people living the suburbs of Philadelphia and companies enjoy the building as it sites in a Keystone opportunity zone, giving tenants a break on state and local taxes. Dechert (law firm) moved from Center city, representing a 1.5 mile move. Even though this distance is very minimal, Lindsay has noticed a difference in her commuting to work. "I always toke the subway at the peak time everyday but commuting to center city was still very easy. I always thought that the subway was the most crowded between my original 2 stops but I have noticed that more people board the train in center city then more people get off. The additional 6 minute subway ride was many times unbearable".
Lindsay has switched over to taking the bus form 2nd and market all the way to the Cira center. The bus is also crowded but Lindsay fells more comfortable and less claustrophobic in the bus. She wakes up earlier since she has now a longer commute and the bus is not as fast, but overall the extra time spent is well worth it.
Speaking of subways, here is a video showing "Oshiya" or "pushers" in Tokyo, Japan. And we thought that subways in Philadelphia were crowded???
