3. Elimination of *all* weekend service?!
http://www.septa.com/news/press_releases/090904.html

These measures would include an average 25-percent hike in all transit fares, an "across the board" 20-percent system-wide reduction in transportation service – including elimination of all weekend service, region-wide – and a workforce reduction of approximately 1,400 SEPTA jobs.

:wtf:

How many colleges are there in suburban Philly? Around 60? And almost all of them are near regional rail (not Amtrak) stops. Then' there's the not-so-small matter of Eagles games at the Linc on Sundays, including playoffs...

Rendell has GOT to get something done PRONTO. This could really threaten Philly's status as a major city. Then there's the precedent it could set nationwide... :scared:
