SEPTA's Doomsday Plan
Permalink  
 


Sounds serious...

SEPTA general manager Joseph Casey sent the plan to state transportation secretary Barry Schoch on Tuesday and laid it out for the state Senate Transportation Committee Thursday.. The "service realignment plan" would begin next year and continue slashing service until 2023, when the SEPTA system would be a shadow of its current self. SEPTA estimates the plan would cost it at least 40 million passengers a year, about 12 percent of its ridership.

No doubt that Pennsy and Reading left Philly passenger services in bad...hell lousy condition just before Conrail, but cutting 40 million riders off will only force more cars onto roads, which transit relieves in the first place.

These plans are all ass back words, and the ridership has a lot of power when the get together and let legislators hear how they feel

The Republicunts don't care how the ridership feels. It's the same story with Amtrak year after year.

 No it does not!

Sounds like they need to cut taxes to encourage entrepreneurship and the free flow of free market ideas.

 

WTF is wrong with you, Poster Uke?
