We’ve had five SEPTA crashes in the last week. FIVE! What the hell is going on out there? Last night a rogue trolley found its way into some poor woman’s living room:

"A SEPTA trolley just went through my living room." Video shows the moment an out-of-control trolley smashed into a historic Philly building. This is the latest SEPTA crash in recent days. https://t.co/eJVbFfZyOE @RandyGyllenhaal pic.twitter.com/CJHCoV9veV

We had another earlier this week in Center City that crashed into a store on Walnut:

The damage left behind after a SEPTA bus hopped the curb at 15th and Walnut and crashed into a building last night. The driver was the only one on board and only person hurt. It’s the fourth accident involving a SEPTA bus or trolley in a five day period. @KYWNewsradio pic.twitter.com/949XaLLzYZ

There was one in Fishtown on Sunday after a bus hit a pole and then one the next day in Upper Darby after two trolleys wanted to play Oklahoma Drill. Unfortunately, last week, one person died and 14 were injured when a SEPTA bus crashed INTO ANOTHER SEPTA BUS:

Clean it up SEPTA! Our expectations for you were low, but holy shit. Keep this up and your gonna go under with all these incoming lawsuits and repairs. Better get to selling more Justin M. Bieber, Esquire ad space stat.
