Building highway lanes will never, ever, ever get America's traffic problems under control — but any good Taylor Swift fan knows that now.

According to a new analysis from Streetlight Data, a major increase in transit service shifted many of the 80,000 concert-goers out of cars and onto buses and trains bound to and from the megastar's MetLife Stadium show in May.

In Philadelphia, City hall subway transit station is a hub that connects the rest of the city. So fans in the outskirts can park at a nearby transit station, ride the train to city hall, then take the train that goes from city hall to the Stadium in South Philly.

People who drive there used to park in the neighborhoods near by, which lead to serious problems. But they've cracked down on that over the years.

Just wish there were more connections there, east to SJ and West. From where I am would have 3 different trains to get there.
