Of course it happened in Philly. NYC next?
From your link:
"The cashless ban was introduced as a way to help protect lower-income residents who might not have electronic banking services available to them, officials said."
Other stats (from various searches and I make no comment other than stating the facts):
"Over the past four decades, as Philadelphia's overall population dropped by nearly 22 percent, the city lost more than 4 in 10 of its middle-class adults. At the same time, the lower-income adult population rose by about a quarter and the higher-income adult population fell by about the same percentage"
Ps. When is the last time anyone paid a cash toll on any of the toll bridges.
