Running to septa thinking you’ll be late and they’re always late is so relatable

I love that you guys always thank the operator. I can't help but do the same and feel like everyone should do so, they work their asses off. Being a bus driver (or an operator of any transit modality) is not easy, but they're out there every day operating a key public service that holds our cities together, for less pay than they deserve.

8:58 Miles, as someone that routinely has to transfer from the 17 to the BSL express and often has to sprint down those stairs because the B2 doesn't run often enough, you have to go two steps at a time and you can actually go pretty fast.

I love this channel, I could never do this kind of crazy stuff. 12 hours on different modes of transit is so miserable as you can’t even sleep for like 6 hours on a train.

This looked fun! Lifelong Philadelphian here who knows the SEPTA system as it was pre-COVID-19. Lucky you were able to make all them transfers. Tip for winter outdoor travels (esp transit): always dress warmer than you think you need. A missed transfer can become miserable quickly when under-dressed overnight in winter.

27:05 “whip it good” *screams* S tier transition Miles

If only this was possible in Boston

This reminds me of trips my friends and I would do when we were your age. Back then, however, our goal would be to ride without ever sitting our butts on a diesel-powered vehicle. There were lots more trolley routes back then and we only rode them, trackless trolleys, subway and el. Add in the old Red Arrow trolleys & P. & W. (Norristown high speed as it is called today) to the mix as well. We could cover almost the entire city that way not to mention the RED Arrow & P & W parts of the region.

that 23 bus will get me from center city to chestnut hill in like 20 minutes flat. it’s magical. septa bus power. doesn’t obey any laws of traffic. love the 23.

Just thought I would make a list of all of the modes you guys took here: 1. Articulated bus 2. Non-articulated bus 3. Suburban bus (I don't think this one counts) 4. Norristown High Speed Line 5. Market-Frankford Line 6. City trolley 7. Regional rail 8. Suburban trolley 9. OWL bus 10. Trackless trolley 11. OWL Link (wait, what's the difference?) 12. Direct bus 13. Broad Street Line

Great video. Very entertaining! It's cool to see all the night owl service SEPTA has. We had much more owl service here in Chicago before a lot of it was cut because of budget issues.

Ok u both are gutsy. I'm from philly an u recognized some of the routes. Glad u both stayed safe. Being out on dark corners can be unsafe

Miles in da hood! Riding the 34 to 61st St, my stop! I never tire watching a PCC, K-Car swing out onto 61st to Baltimore Ave in one smooth motion though it means I'll have to catch the next one. (Hey SEPTA, 24 hour service for the 34 too!) You've already caught the 46 at 58th & Baltimore and now Angora station! And then Upper Darby beyond 69th Street and the terminal! West Virginia, West Philly Miles da man!

Those random Crown or King or Kennedy chicken joints are foundational.

ABOLISH BUS DOTS😂😂😂 also the 23 was the bane of my existence growing up in mt airy😂 69th st is so confusing, crazy to see y’all at my 21 stop.

Technically you didn't fail, because walking is a mode of transportation. (So you technically also used one more mode of transportation)

A few years ago when I got my senior Septa card, I said that since I could ride everything for free now, I would still be riding Septa if I didn't have to go to work. Not really, but I would have been tempted. My vote is that to ride the whole trolley line, you have to start at 13th St. Those dots on the windows! They're hard enough to see through in the daytime, but at night in the rain, I can't see out at all. Whoever invented them must not have been a bus rider. Finally, the roof hatch: one time I was riding a Washington, DC, Metrobus to work in the winter, and I noticed snowflakes falling inside the bus! The roof hatch was open in a snowstorm. A tall guy tried to close the hatch, but he couldn't budge it.

I love the talking heads reference

Presenting: The Famous Miles and Jackson SEPTA All-Nighter! Overview: 7 am to 7 pm, with the goal of

Great video, Miles! This was a very fun video to watch.

You guys are having too much fun. Love it

You two are brave!

The fact that y'all said "thank you" to every driver really elevated this from a fun video to a video I'm truly glad I watched. Transit nerds (I say as one) can run the gambit from being super nice to treating the people actually operating the system like meat, and I'm glad y'all are on the positive end of the spectrum.

The septa surprise

I laughed so hard at "vrmm vrvrmmm o clock" 😭 so accurate 2:09

Next you should do this for the MBTA…….oh wait!

Missed opportunity: Acapella deviation to "All Night Long" by Lionel Ritchie

Was only a matter of time until this happened! Very fun!

I take Septa every day, and this was the most enthralling video I’ve watched in years. Thanks for perfectly stating my exact thoughts every time I’m trying to run down the city hall steps. They’re such a strange size.

i love when you guys go around the area i live, like the middle school you guys passed while in upper darby is the one i attended and there were so many fights behind that 7-11 i have so many stories of upper darby. this is also something that ive been wanting to do so i love living through you guys. i found this channel like a week ago and ive been watching your videos every since.

Glad you Had fun

Great videos guys...

23:44 is the exact moment when I realize the general and overarching futility of SEPTA as an entity and a concept

now y’all should do this in dc

What an awesome wholesome video lol y’all are crazy tho for sure lolol

Great video as always! Honestly in the grand scheme of things, there might be far crazier things you've done, but this was just as fun to watch! (Although 12 hours of straight riding isn't nothing!) IMO: It doesn't count as a full trolley ride until 13th - It is unarguably part of the route and is publicly usable by passengers - Even if nobody actually does it Now try doing this challenge in Boston... (No 24/7 service, but with some really good planning and luck, a 30 minute rule might make the challenge barely possible due to the 171, Massport shuttles and early trips...)

I wish all transit authorities had a night service, RTAs and the big boys like The T.

All night riding around Philly and you didn't stop at a Wawa once?! I used to work for the railroad on the East Coast and some weeks practically lived off Wawa food. Wish they were in Ohio (we have some Sheetz instead, but I think Wawa is better on a number of things - soft pretzels, hot sides, pastries, salads).

You need to do this again!

Also, cutaway truck buses run on truck chassis, so that was a Ford Phoenix as much as it could have been an F-250.

Miles, you and Jackson are out of your minds for doing this. Hope neither of you had early classes the next day. Also, improvisation isn't just a jazz thing, it's pretty much everywhere in music. Cadenzas in classical concertos are almost always improvised. The more you know, he typed while analyzing a Mozart piano concerto for an 8am Music History class at 1:30am

I'm starving too like the dots, just out of spite.

I am totally not judging your video recommendations

Wow miles I didn’t notice but this vid was posted on my birthday

I actually drive the route 100 NHSL Thanks for coming to Philly boys

Tellement adorable!

O O O O’Reilly’s (o’reilly’s) AUTO PARTS (3:45)

I live here and I still have to do that! (not counting when I worked for SEPTA as a checker and did overnights on occasion... and that was one run for whatever night, anyway).

18:58 Chicken in the hood. Respect 😎

18:08 I rode the H / XH past that abandoned Budd Plant twice. One of the creepiest sights I have ever seen

333th like for you guys;) good job!

As a Philly native, i love what you guys did here. Much respect for you guys being bold. We natives tell tourists not to go north for their safety because of poverty and high crime most ppl not from this city aren't used to

Hey those bsl trains have the same interior as the older nyc subway! Also Philly has a ton of public transit than nyc, we can't even have lrt which sbs is basically light rail for us.

7:25 foamer alert is the sound of my life tbh lol

The 66 is the easiest route in SEPTA history. It’s actually my home route.

I wish I could stay up late enough (my body can’t last past 2 am) to see the Subway Owl

This is barely possible in DC - the final DC Circulator bus departs at 3:30 on Friday and the first WMATA buses depart at 4… would be interesting to see if it’s possible to stick to these rules in DC

good old septa late night route changes

septa crazy

omg yes i hate the dilworth park stairs, they're so unexpectedly shallow

I could only imagine, nj transit all day, all mode 😳

you two are certifiable! I've been in some of the neighborhoods you went through and they're scary in broad daylight! Have you ever been robbed in Philly? It's a rough town

0:02 Toast French!

That 102 did show up.

*said in the crustiest voice one could muster* "WeLComE TO: ROuTe 23, SeRVIcE TO: CEntEr CiTY"

I go by Masjid Sunnah Nabawiyyah on route 23 in Germantown

27:28 Neshaminy Mall :)

Hilarious!

Great video. I guess this was filmed in the night between friday and saturday?

Imagine doing 3-minute transfers! I only do 1 minute.

Hey Miles, love your videos. I have a question: What’s the name of the app that you guys are using in the video? Is it the SEPTA app or a different one?

bruh this happen to me once got back home at 5.00 am

The 2nd bus is A XD40

I rode the 23 Trolley just for fun! It was an amazing line and one of the longest ( in miles) trolley line in the US, from what I understand. Septa screwed it up by turning it into a bus line.

you should totaly drop the address of that chicken place looks amazing!

28:21 everyone ... in Frankford, not Frankfurt ... just making sure of that

When did you do this?

Do you fellows think about traveling to other parts of this world.If you want my advice,maybe try traveling to Hebron and visiting Rifka (Rebecca).

septa, more like septic

From septa

0:45 why on earth would you own twilight

18:35 Can anyone fill me in on what this building is/was?

Have you been on the 68?

What was the original route?

and you may find yourself.... ha

Bravest thing you guys did was eat on a SEPTA bus

i hate Dotozzzzzz

Would be wonderful if regional rail ran past 10 on weekends too 😢

{coughs} If you use a keyboard it is no longer a capella (and it is A Capella, not Acapella {uncoughs} You both can sing, I must say. Not bad, Not bad at all. 4:05 I had NO idea they used cobblestone in the US, it seems so ...European. Fun fact, the Dutch/Flemish name for cobblestones in Kinderkopjes, which translates to Childrens Heads... no joke. 7:03 WHY IS SHE SHOUTING, IS SHE USING A BULLHORN OR SOMETHING....HOLY CRAPERONI 7:28 heard this several times in your videos now... Foamer is another word for "fanboi" I assume? A question you might be able to answer. I am saving up to visit your country however I do not have a drivers license (really not needed in the Netherlands). Is it possible to go across the US using only public transport or are certain states basically unreachable by that mode of transport (planes excluded) Sorry if I ask/comment so much with questions that might seem trivial under your videos but I am a huge cycle and Public Transport fan (a foamer I guess lol) and many of these things in your video are so weird to a Dutchman like me. Also currently kind of bingewatching your videos as I only recently discovered your channel, hence why you see me commenting so much today lol.

Why aren't you wearing a hat? It's february. /10

Its not dangerous use at late night public transit? I have see Videos abaut Kensington and the Drugad

NON- ARTICULATED BUSES Aren't a separate mode

Philly is dangerous you guys were lucky

10:00 - You are going to U of Penn now. Time to quit this.

Imagine the white privilege to ride septa for fun laughing and shit not worrying about the impending danger.

Look here.....I'm a Philly bul.....born & raised. U can ride SEPTA all nite from 12am to 5am....however.....it's only a few nite owl lines besides da MFL & BSL shuttle buses
