Our compact, walkable downtown can only exist because transit allows visitors, residents, and employees to be concentrated in a small geographic footprint that would be physically impossible to serve with private vehicles alone.

Without a robust public transit system, Philadelphia just doesn’t work | Opinion
Absent additional funding from the state, the proposed cuts to SEPTA service would be devastating to the region's post-pandemic recovery.

It is hard to overstate how catastrophic it would be for Philly and the entire commonwealth if Harrisburg lets SEPTA fail.
50 bus routes eliminated
2 trolleys downgraded to buses
21.5% fare hike
9 PM curfew
20% service reduction on remaining routes
This is an emergency. The City of Philadelphia is investing in SEPTA but we need the General Assembly to step up.

It’s really important to remember to tie everything Musk and Trump are doing to the GOP and local Reps.
Don’t just say “Trump and Musk” but Republicans as a whole, the Musk-Trump GOP, etc.
The Republican Party is enabling this entire coup/scandal/turmoil. They must own it now and forever.
