SEPTA riders scrambling to find alternate routes with cuts in effect

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) – – On Sunday Philadelphia endured a 'minor' test with transportation as fans filed into the city for the Phillies game. But Monday's commute… will be the ultimate test, as Philadelphia students head back to class.

With schools around the region reopening Monday, students like London Winston are dealing with transportation issues, along with the stress of a new school year.

"They cut the 31 that's across the street from my house. I'm a little upset, but it is what it is SEPTA's got to do better," said Winston.

SEPTA eliminated 32 bus routes, cut service across the board by 20%, and reduced the number of trips on rail lines.

Phillies fans slowed but not deterred by SEPTA service cuts

Phillies fans still showed up in droves at Citizens Bank Park on Sunday, but the specter of SEPTA's massive service cuts loomed large over the afternoon.

Three hours before a pitch was thrown in the Phillies’ Sunday afternoon matchup against the Washington Nationals, a handful of fans were already idling in cars outside Citizens Bank Park, waiting for parking lot gates to open.

Partially sunny skies and mild August temperatures served as a sharp contrast to a transportation doomsday scenario that was beginning to take effect across the city, as SEPTA implemented the first day of steep service cuts to its bus, trolley, and subway lines.

The dynamic landscape of current events often brings forth significant discussions. Monitoring these developments provides crucial insights for a comprehensive understanding of evolving situations and their broader implications across various sectors.
