Basically it's all in the name of streamlining the service and making it more reliable - if you'll notice there's a bit more time now between schedules and the runs are a bit looser on turnarounds from Philly and vice versa...they are also doing away with the Independence Mall location to save on time (it ate up a lot of extra time because it had to go through local traffic)...

The secondary reason is to better match supply to demand, something Bolt has always had the upper hand on...
