Keep them going to 13th since they already do, but that is not an excuse to not have the MFL stop between 15th and 30th.

I was just thinking how dumb it is that the trolleys don't end at 30th street and the MFL doesn't have stops there instead. Having lived around there and working in this area now, I can say it is a huge bummer. I know people will say you can transfer at City hall and it's not that hard to transfer, but it can add a good 10 minutes to your commute even at peak times, the trolley lines close sooner, and are frankly less safe at night.
Ideally there'd be a split platform allowing access to both, but we all know SEPTA's not going to fund that in this climate.
