A Mostly Harmless Guy: SEPTA Fare Increase: "Are they KIDDING?!?!"

Philadelphia Livejournal Community: What the media did NOT mention about the fare increase...:

Overlooked in the hype over the upcoming SEPTA fare increases is the fact that transfers will be eliminated effective July 31st. A base fare (cash, token, or pass) would be required for travel on each vehicle.

This will crush poorer folks in Philadelphia. The elimination of transfers is unacceptable.

It's time to consider

It's time to consider clean-sheeting SEPTA - start from scratch. The lack of an affordable and competent public transportation system is yet another thing holding this city back.
