Marcus McKnight's dream is to create a transit education program for Philly students.
, a self-proclaimed transit geek who cofounded the Philly Transit Riders Union, drives the Navy Yard and Philly Phlash buses, and moonlights as a substitute teacher.“What I love is that every trip is different, even if the journey is the same.”“It’s a love-hate relationship. You know you have that friend, they get on your nerves but you love them to death and you’ll defend them till the day you die? That’s Philly.
McKnight is now pursuing his bachelor’s degree in history online from Southern New Hampshire University and in December, he started substitute teaching at K-12 charter schools in Philly. His ultimate goal is to meld his passions and create a program for schools that would not only teach students how to use public transit but also inform them about job opportunities in the field., which runs April through September, is mainly for tourists . It loops through Old City and Center City, stopping at sites like Independence Hall and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
“He’s a good guy,” White said. “He’s on point, he’s on time, and he wants to get you to work on time, which I love.”McKnight’s punctuality and penchant for rising early comes in handy at his second job, with a company that places substitute teachers in K-12 charter schools in Philly.
