Have I mentioned that I am deeply, deeply bitter over SEPTA? I just spent an hour trying to figure out this map, an impossible endeavor without matching each station to each line's schedule. No transfers shown, no indication of what line is what, nothing. And unless you're going to Center City, and only Center City, they don't tell you what the fare is. But what if you aren't going to Center City? What if you want to go from, oh I don't know, Manayunk to Cynwyd? Didn't think of that, now did they? No, they didn't. Then you have to go back to the schedules, figure out what station is in what zone, how many zones you have to cross through to get back to the zone you started in because that's where your transfer is placed since the lines don't necessarily follow any logical geography - check the R7 for instance - and then go to the fares page and try to calculate the expense (and it won't be cheap) from the wonderfully detailed information "Varies by Zone and by peak/off-peak hours."
