Post subject:  SEPTA operator decorates trolley for Valentine's Day

SEPTA Trolley Operator Gary Mason has decorated a Kawasaki trolley for Valentine’s Day. Mason is assigned to Callowhill District, which operates Route 10 (City Hall to 63-Malvern in Philadelphia’s Overbrook neighborhood.

He has been doing this since 1993.

The decorations include sound, of course. Mason says, "I put on smooth sounds coming through the speakers and a heart for every window," Mason said. "I hang flowers for the ladies. I like to give these rides a different feel. With everything going on, this is something positive."

Usually, he operates his car as a “wildcat,” meaning he does not follow a fixed schedule, but with an operator shortage he may have to take a regular run.
