For decades, local sports fans have used the Broad Street Line and other SEPTA services to get down to Eagles, Phillies, Sixers, and Flyers games.

SEPTA said that if a deal was not reached by midnight, service and route cuts would go into effect on August 24.

With SEPTA's deadline to avoid a "death spiral" hours away, a Pa. House Committee did not approve of a transit bill that was passed by the Senate.

Pennsylvania’s GOP-controlled Senate also advanced a $47.6 billion state budget for 2025-26 that holds spending flat, but Democrats oppose the plan.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Transit experts are warning that proposed service cuts to SEPTA could result in approximately 275,000 additional vehicles on local roadways, a number just shy of Pittsburgh's population.

SEPTA plans to reduce services and increase fares due to funding issues. From August 24, numerous bus routes will be cut or shortened, rail trips reduced by 20%, and fares will rise by 21.5% starting September 1.

Parker framed the pending SEPTA service cuts as dire, but stopped short of detailing the city’s plans should they move forward.

The president of TWU Local 234 says he's especially concerned that frontline workers will bear the brunt of public frustration.
