Daily News | SEPTA’s revised bus network redesign keeps some routes that had been slated to disappear
Riders had loud complaints about the proposed plan to remake the Philadelphia region’s bus network from scratch. And SEPTA listened.
SEPTA gave The Inquirer a brief preview of the some of the changes to the second incarnation of the plan.For instance, many people who attended community meetings over the last few months opposed having to transfer to more frequent bus routes or to the Broad Street Line or Market-Frankford El to complete their trips, he said.
The original plan would have cut the number of SEPTA bus routes from the current 125 to 99. The second draft has about 112 routes, officials said.after ridership declined about 20% between 2011 and 2019, a drop attributed to slow speeds, problems with reliability, and competition from ride-sharing companies. And that was before COVID-19. This redesign is the first overhaul of the system since 1964.
The public weighed in with 26 public meetings online and in person and with more than 5,000 written comments through December.There may be fewer high-frequency routes in the second draft because in a tightly connected bus network, changes create ripple effects that may require further changes, Nemiroff said. He could not immediately say how many routes will still be “15 max,” the fastest proposed routes in SEPTA’s plan.
