SEPTA needs to be clear about what is being sacrificed, who exactly is being asked to sacrifice, and SEPTA should be prioritizing outreach to groups who would be sacrificing the most. Any changes proposed will involve “trade offs”– some areas get more service, some get less. ![]() The “Bus Revolution” is proposing many changes, including frequency changes, splitting up and merging routes, consolidating bus stops, and cutting some routes and even eliminating transit service to some parts of Greater Philadelphia.Ī cost neutral redesign means no increase in overall service, just a reorganization of existing resources.
