Years ago, the 58(fromerly 59b) used to run to County Line via: Northbound on Bustleton Avenue, westbount on Cheltenham Avenue, northbound on Large Street, eastbound on Roosevelt Boulevard, northbound on Bustleton Avenue to County Line. Why did they do away with this routing formerly associated with route 58? |

To cut the run time. The more direct route via Bustleton saved about 5 to7 minutes from the trip time. |

The 14(formerly route B), 20, 58 & 88 used to run southbound on Penn Street between Comly & the driveway at Frankford depot. Why did they do away with this routing? Reason as to why I ask this, for any bus(revenue or non revenue) traveling along Bustleton Avenue between Comly & Cheltenham must observe a 15mph speed limit. Why is this? |

1] To shut the residents of Penn St the hell up [too many complaints]. 2]The routing was changed as part of the new FTC arrangement. Actually the routing change started a few years earlier [Bustleton, Cheltenham, Frankford] when the new station was being built where the old bus lanes were. |
