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
