"Would you like a mask?" Jessica Mangold asked riders entering the station.

Mangold is a statistical reporting project manager at SEPTA and head of the authority's "social distancing coaches" -- transit authority managers and administrative employees who have offered to swap their regular duties for giving out masks and gingerly promoting social distancing as more riders return to SEPTA."
