The GOP in the Pennsylvania state legislature has yet to agree to funding SEPTA. If they fail to make an agreement with Democrats, the agency, which provides 800,000 rides a day, will have to increase fares by 21.5% and eventually reduce service by a stunning 45%.
SEPTA will start implementing their vast service cuts this Sunday after receiving no sufficient funding from PA lawmakers. Here’s why it’s not just a “City of Philadelphia” problem.
