On the first day of sweeping SEPTA service cuts, Democratic state lawmakers and community members rallied Sunday at the Warminster, Pennsylvania, SEPTA station, urging Republican leadership in Harrisburg to approve more mass transit funding.

A study says SETPA cuts will add the population of Pittsburgh to area roads, slowing these Bucks County commutes by approximately 30%.

While the state’s largest public transportation system implements major service cuts affecting thousands of Philadelphia students on their first day of school, top Republicans in Pennsylvania government aren’t in the Capitol.
