toresdale to Aramingo is the way to go. curch st. is the best connector. Just hop off at lehigh and head over to delaware ave. then follow that down to spring garden, which you can take across to where ever you want to go.

only downside is that aramingo can be busy around all the shopping centers. Just make watch for cagers...
