Yup, I agree on that too. The line which could be built down Delaware Ave would be an effective means of connecting the South Philly neighborhoods who are at a distance from the el or Broad St Line.
A subway up 29th to Manayunk passing through the Parkway would be an enoromous value to the city. One, it would enable tourists to more quickly access Museum Row and two, it'd create an important bridge between CC and Manayunk - something which RR does not address to the extent it's needed.
