fair fares? part three ….the update
If you’ve been following along with the SEPTA transportation crisis(part one, part two), I have an update thats actually a few days old but i’m finally getting around to writing it.
The Pennsylvania lawmakers finally decided on a bill that would provide hundreds of millions of dollars to SEPTA for the years to come. BUt is the crisis over? There’s still a lot of concern about the elimination of paper transfers for a majority of riders. But the motivation behind that is to initiate the use of electronic TransPasses which will allow for seamless travel on all forms of public transportation.
Hopefully, with the efforts to bring in and keep riders, we’ll be seeing other improvments in the transit system. Cleaner stations, better transfer/ conection locations, and keeping costs low are a few things to be considered.
