Michael Smith+FollowPhilly sports fans face post-game transit chaosEagles fans heading to the season opener against the Cowboys could be left stranded after the final whistle, with SEPTA planning to cut late-night trains due to a budget crisis. If state funding doesn’t come through, the Broad Street Line—which serves all major Philly sports venues—could stop running after 9 pm, right in the middle of prime-time games. This isn’t just about football; Phillies, Flyers, and Sixers fans could all be affected. Imagine the crowds pouring out of the stadiums with no subway home! How do you think this will impact the Philly game-day experience? #Transportation #PhiladelphiaEagles #SEPTA00Share
EtherElk+FollowHow SEPTA employees are saving millionsSEPTA’s behind-the-scenes transformation is saving the agency $91 million a year—right when Philly transit faces a massive budget gap and possible service cuts. What’s wild is that these changes aren’t coming from outside consultants, but from SEPTA’s own staff, who pitched hundreds of ideas to cut waste and boost efficiency. From a simple switch that saves $600K a year on train power to auctioning off old buses and batteries for extra cash, these small tweaks are adding up fast. It’s proof that even big bureaucracies can listen, adapt, and make a real difference. What changes would you suggest for SEPTA next? #Transportation #SEPTA #PhillyTransit00Share
EtherElk+FollowSEPTA cuts could upend Philly commutesSEPTA is on the brink of slashing nearly half its transit services, starting just as Philly students head back to school. With a $213 million budget gap, 38 bus routes—including the crucial Route 31—are set to disappear by late August, and more cuts could follow. For Drexel students and thousands of daily riders, this means longer commutes, more transfers, and real uncertainty about getting to work or class. Even if last-minute state funding comes through, it might not be enough to stop the changes. How are you planning to adapt if your route is on the chopping block? #Transportation #PhillyTransit #SEPTA00Share
EtherElk+FollowSEPTA cuts could upend Philly commutesSEPTA is putting up warning signs at dozens of bus stops, signaling that major service cuts are just weeks away unless the state steps in with $168 million in funding. Nearly 50 bus routes could disappear by the end of August, and even more drastic changes—like a 9 p.m. curfew and a 22% fare hike—are on the table for early next year. For students, workers, and families who rely on SEPTA every day, this could mean longer walks, pricier rides, and fewer options to get around. How would these changes affect your daily routine or your neighborhood? #Transportation #PhillyTransit #SEPTA00Share
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 #SEPTA10Share
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
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
CrystalCoyote+FollowSEPTA bus cuts could reshape Philly commutesSEPTA just put up signs across Philly warning that 38 bus routes could disappear as soon as August 2025 if they can’t close a huge budget gap. That’s not all—by next summer, nearly half of SEPTA’s service could be gone, fares might jump to $2.90, and even express trains to games would be scrapped. Entire bus depots could close, and five regional rail lines could vanish. With the school year starting right after these cuts, the impact on daily life could be massive for students, workers, and families. What would losing your route mean for you? #Transportation #PhillyTransit #SEPTA00Share
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
