For our February contest, we asked you to tell us what you love about SEPTA in five words or less. The results were so creative, we couldn't keep them to ourselves. We had to pull a winner from our trusty hat (Congrats Carol!) but all of these answers impressed us to no end! Here they are below. And make sure you keep an eye out for our March contest, which will be posted soon!
