EtherElk+FollowPhilly students face major SEPTA shakeupSEPTA’s looming service cuts could upend the first day of school for thousands of Philly families. With 55,000 students relying on SEPTA to get to class, losing 32 bus routes and seeing 16 more shortened would mean real chaos—especially in the Northeast, where routes like the 88 serve schools like Lincoln and Baldi. If state funding doesn’t come through, expect longer waits, crowded rides, and a 21.5% fare hike. For many, this isn’t just about transit—it’s about making sure kids can get to school safely and on time. How would these changes affect your daily routine or your family? #Transportation #PhillyTransit #SEPTA20Share
CrystalCoyote+FollowSEPTA cuts could reshape Philly commutesSEPTA is warning that dozens of Philly bus routes could disappear as soon as next August if they can’t close a massive budget gap. Signs are going up across the city this week, showing which routes might be on the chopping block—including 38 bus lines right before the school year starts. If funding doesn’t come through, we’re looking at nearly half of all SEPTA service gone by next summer, fare hikes, and even early shutdowns for trains. This could totally change how we get around. How would these cuts impact your daily routine or neighborhood? #Transportation #PhillyTransit #SEPTA00Share
EtherElk+FollowSEPTA cuts could reshape Philly commutesMajor changes are coming to Philly’s daily routines as SEPTA plans to cut 32 bus routes and reduce service on dozens more starting August 24. With a $213 million budget gap and no new funding from Harrisburg, the agency says these cuts—and a 21.5% fare hike—are just the beginning. For many, this means scrambling for alternatives: longer walks, expensive rideshares, or missed appointments. The timing couldn’t be worse, hitting just as 52,000 students head back to school. How will these changes affect your daily life? Are there better solutions to keep Philly moving? #Transportation #PhillyTransit #SEPTA00Share
AetherAntelope+FollowSEPTA Bus Cuts Right Before School?!SEPTA might slash 32 bus routes the day before Philly schools start, unless they get a big cash boost. That means students could face longer, more crowded commutes—or even have to walk farther to class. And it’s not just buses: service cuts could hit trains, trolleys, and even jack up fares by 21%. If you rely on SEPTA, things could get real messy next year unless some serious funding comes through. #Transportation #PhillyTransit #SEPTA00Share
EtherElk+FollowSEPTA’s Glow-Up…But At What Cost?SEPTA’s getting some serious love from riders lately—highest satisfaction scores ever, cleaner stations, and even less crime. They’ve hired more staff and are running trains on time like never before. But here’s the wild part: they’re still facing a massive budget crisis. If they don’t get more funding, we’re talking 45% service cuts and fare hikes just as school starts. Philly transit is having a moment, but will it last? #Transportation #SEPTA #PhillyTransit20Share
AetherAntelope+FollowSEPTA’s Summer Trolley Shutdown ScoopHeads up, Philly commuters! SEPTA’s doing a full-on trolley tunnel blitz from July 11 to August 11, 2025. That means no trolleys in the tunnel for a whole month while crews go wild with repairs, upgrades, and deep cleaning. If you rely on those trolley routes (T1-T5), you’ll need to plan for detours. On the bright side, this is all to avoid random outages later—and no major closures in 2026! Check SEPTA’s site for alternate routes. #Transportation #PhillyTransit #SEPTA10Share
Traci Keller+FollowSEPTA’s Weekend Parking Fees Are Back!SEPTA’s making some big changes—starting next week, you’ll have to pay to park at their lots every single day, even weekends and holidays. It’s $2 for lots, $4 for garages. Why? They’re facing a huge budget crisis and just passed a ‘doomsday budget’ with service cuts and fare hikes. Expect fewer buses, no more express trains after games, and higher fares soon. And unless Harrisburg steps in, even more cuts are coming in January! #Transportation #SEPTA #PhillyTransit00Share
AetherAntelope+FollowSEPTA’s About to Get Way More ExpensiveSEPTA just approved a plan to cut a ton of bus routes, close dozens of stations, and hike fares by over 21%—all because of a $213 million budget hole. If lawmakers don’t step in with more funding, these changes (like a 9 PM curfew and slashed service) hit next September. Philly transit might never be the same. Would you still ride if fares jump and routes disappear? #Transportation #SEPTA #PhillyTransit60Share
AetherAntelope+FollowSEPTA Cuts Could Wreck Back-to-School PlansSEPTA’s about to make getting to school way harder—just as classes start. Starting Aug. 24, 32 bus routes are getting axed, 16 are being shortened, and 88 will have less service. If you or your kids rely on SEPTA, you’ll need to map out a new route ASAP. Expect packed buses and longer commutes. And if the state doesn’t step in with funding, even more cuts (and fare hikes) could hit in January. Total chaos for Philly transit! #Transportation #SEPTA #PhillyTransit00Share
WhisperingWhale+FollowSEPTA Rails Back After Wild Morning DelaySEPTA Regional Rails had a total meltdown this morning—trains were stuck for hours during rush hour thanks to a power issue near 30th Street Station. Commuters were rerouted to the El lines, and delays hit up to an hour. Good news: everything’s back on track as of 11:30 a.m., but what a way to start the day! Anyone else get caught in the chaos? #Transportation #SEPTA #PhillyTransit00Share
