  1. SEPTA seems to have borrowed some rolling stock from Baltimore for the flower show. #septa #philly #flowershow2026

  2. All #SEPTA bus and regional rail is being suspended at 2pm.

  3. Governer Shapiro cleans up the mess left by senate republicans again

    Just incredible that we're renovating 50 year old trains because of a total lack of funding from the state, and Republicans are blaming SEPTA's problems on bad management. Fuck you Joe Pittman!

  4. "“When anyone questioned my concerns and apprehension last month about SEPTA using capital dollars for operating costs, this moment is why,” Mayor Cherelle L. Parker said in an Instagram post."

  5. This is an interesting situation. I don't have all the details of the situation so take my observations here with a grain of salt. The plaintiff's argument that SEPTA cutting busses before regional rail discriminates against Philly's poorer residents seems valid to me.

    On the other hand, forcing SEPTA to empty its bank accounts to keep the system running, without money coming from the state to replenish those funds, seems dangerous to me in the long term. We desperately need to upgrade our rolling stock in the coming years, how are we going to do that without some money in reserve?

    Ultimately SEPTA is not at fault here, it's the good-for-nothing Republicans in the state Senate that are causing the problem by vindictively refusing to fund transit in PA. But I doubt there's any way to sue them, so plaintiff took the only route available to them to get vital transportation services restored.

  6. 😡😡😡

    We all knew that failing to fund SEPTA would make it harder for Philadelphians to get to school and work, and now we are seeing that play out. The negative impact this will have on the state economy is enormous (to say nothing of the direct impact on peoples livelihoods), but that's a price Republicans are willing to pay to performatively punish cities for existing.

  7. To my fellow #septa riders, especially but not only regional rail: crowded conditions are only going to get worse. Please:

    - Fill every available seat. More standees in the aisle slows everything down.

    - If all the seats are full, move as far to the front or back of the cars (away from the doors) as you can to make more room for standees behind you. They are coming!

    - Start moving to the doors before your stop.

    - When people get off at Temple or UPenn, fill the seats they vacated.

  8. If you are Angry about #SEPTA cuts, read this and you’ll be Really pissed off. From @inquirer.com (1/3)

  9. The entire SEPA Region will be impacted by #SEPTA cuts caused by Republican State Senators led by Maj. Leader Pittman. #indivisiblePA @indivisiblepa.bsky.social @indivisiblechesco.bsky.social

  10. Took an HOUR to get from Broad and Spruce to Broad and Mifflin. This is on a major road, middle of the day, major bus route.

    Thanks @SEPTA.

    Imagine this: the draconian cutbacks being planned start Sunday.🤦🤷😱 #philadelphia #publictransport #septa

  16. #Alstom is advancing the modernisation of Philadelphia’s 130-year-old trolley network with 130 new Citadis #streetcars for #SEPTA. Now two years into the project, design is nearing completion, with final review set for autumn 2025 before manufacturing begins in #Hornell, #NY. The modern vehicles will replace ageing 1980s stock and offer full #accessibility, low floors, space for bikes and wheelchairs, USB ports, and real-time passenger info. The project navigates heritage infrastructure, local regulations, and ‘Buy #America’ rules, with most production occurring in the US. Designed to reflect Philadelphia’s historic identity, the streetcars will serve dense communities, linking them to key institutions. The scheme supports future US light rail projects and will feature in the city's 2026 celebrations, including the 250th anniversary of #US independence and the #FIFA World Cup.

  17. Managed to take four new #trains today:

    * Amtrak's Pennsylvanian
    * SEPTA subway
    * SEPTA trolley
    * PATCO Speedline

    legoktm.com/w/index.php?title=

    Probably won't take the Pennsylvanian again since the seats were all backwards - I assume this is because it turns around in PHL to head west to PGH and that's the longer leg. NE Regional is frequent enough that I can avoid it if I'm just going down to Philly.

  18. This stairway leads to the service tunnel under the 15th Street Market-Frankford El station platform. I've never seen it lit before and am very curious to see what's under there. Unfortunately, or fortunately, the stairwell gate was locked.
    Also, my OCD is triggered by the off center placement of the overhead stairs. 😳

  20. This channel has its claws in me with the SEPTA content. Here's another video I quite enjoyed about Regional Rail. I actually don't use it much, since the Broad Street lines, Frankford-Market lines, and driving gets me to where I need to go. (Though I wish there was a regional rail stop closer to my workplace so I wouldn't have to drive as much. 😑)

    The quick history lesson regarding the rail lines was also a lot of fun.

  25. RT @patcowatchers ‘The billions set aside for this highway project, while #SEPTA goes begging for $240 million to plug an operating deficit, is yet another demonstration of misplaced priorities.’ - Inga Saffron

  26. The idea of extending the Broad Street subway line up to NE Philly is a great idea. It's sorely needed and in fact some of the line has already been built. So there's that.

    I'm in favor of it. Might make getting to Center City easier for many in NE Philly

  27. Die #SEPTA Stationen sind auf den ersten Blick gruselig. Schmale Bahnsteige mit gefühlter Höhe Null und dann Holzbohlen zum Erreichen der mittleren Gleise. Und das an der einzigen Hochgeschwindigkeitsstrecke in den USA! #Amtrak #NortheastCorridor
