SEPTA says critical service cuts are coming if it doesn’t get a major funding influx to plug its $213 million deficit. The transit agency warns that the cuts could reshape public transportation across the region, which includes eliminating 50 bus routes and five regional rail lines. Riders can also expect a 20% fare increase and a 9 PM curfew on some metro lines and regional rail services.
SEPTA’s interim General Manager Scott Sauer joined Studio 2 to talk about the financial challenges facing SEPTA and the potential for alternative solutions.
