The Mayor's proposal also expands a free SEPTA fare program for City workers to include School District employees - a huge win for workers AND for the transit system! www.inquirer.com/education/ub... #FundOurSchools #SaveSEPTA
This may sound like a good thing but it is an act of self-preservation in the face of #MoscowMitch level Obstruction from PA Senate Republicans - we MUST keep the pressure on as the PA State Budget is still not passed. #FundTransit #SaveSEPTA share.google/KcmA2vM4l5he...
#SaveSEPTA On the R5 line from Center City to Thorndale, I counted 30 passengers in my car, a six car train, thus roughly 180 passengers. That’s just one minor regional rail line on the huge chopping block. What madness will ensue if everyone needs to drive!
Anyone have a good explainer that's more specific about which Pennsylvania elected officials did what about SEPTA?
As a Lower Merion High School grad who took the R5 to the city weekly, I'm particularly interested in what the suburban reps did.

Day 3 of phase 1 SEPTA reduction and my bus had to stop letting people on only 15 blocks into its route. So many people left waiting for the next bus that will be just as overcrowded. And this is just the beginning. #SaveSEPTA
Quote from Linda Walsh, a 72yr old in Warrington who relies on public transit:
“I go down every month to Penn Medicine University City for my cancer treatments…I could never drive down there, so I rely on the train.”
Folks like Linda are why PA House Dems voted to fund mass transit 5x! #SaveSEPTA
The kid and I are on the PACKED broad Street line headed to the phils. #savesepta
#SEPTA isn’t a luxury — it’s a lifeline. Republicans are offering duct tape for a disaster while kids lose their bus to school & workers lose their ride to work. Fund transit fully & permanently. No more Band-Aids for broken bones. #SaveSEPTA

Sen. Joe Pittman owns every job that is about to lost, school day missed & life ruined from here forward because HE refused to sustainably and fairly #FundTransit and #SaveSEPTA. 6abc.com/amp/post/sep...
PA Senate Republicans pass plan to fund infrastructure ONLY, and not operating costs. As such, Senate Democrats say no. Infrastructure is absolutely important, but so are the people maintaining and operating that infrastructure. #septa #fundtransist #savesepta
Philadelphians! Do NOT let fake politicians' SLASH SEPTA service and strand thousands of Philadelphians without any affordable public transportation! #FundSEPTA #SaveSEPTA #SaveSEPTANow
Today is the last day to #SaveSEPTA - use this link to tell PA Senate Republicans how Septa cuts will impact you, your family, the City and the Region: www.transitforallpa.org/take-action-...
People rely on SEPTA to take them to and from doctors’ offices, hospitals, schools, work, etc. A decrease in service is detrimental to Philadelphia. You would not see that in NYC. To save SEPTA, we need more routes, times, and reliability. Without that, the mayor needs to allow wfh. #savesepta

Suitcase next to seat on Septa Airport line train
Sprinted from PHL gate to @septaphilly.bsky.social bc the Airport Line is the best way to get home in Philadelphia. Saves $, saves gas, saves time. Heartbroken and furious that PA Senate Republicans are about to strangle our city. #septa #savesepta
This was my Tuesday morning traveling to City Hall in support of transportation funding. #savesepta
As Transportation Committee Chairman, I'm demanding action! SEPTA cuts service starting Aug. 24 without funding. Families will lose jobs, kids can't get to school. Real people are getting hurt. The #PaSenate must act NOW! RepNeilson.com #SaveSEPTA #PATransit
The corner of Front & Girard in Philadelphia, around sunset. There’s a stopped trolley in the background and elevated tracks above it.
Spotted in the wild. #SaveSEPTA
Together we can #SaveSEPTA
Retweet it with your shirt size for presale. All proceeds will go to me and I’ll ride bus #SEPTA #Philly #PublicTransportation
"Our students take SEPTA to school," said one teacher at the sign-making event as she posed a question to @artsteinberg-pft.bsky.social.
