SEPTA cuts could reshape Philly commutes

Major 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 #SEPTA
