The revolution has been postponed. SEPTA’s long-planned reorganization of the region’s bus network, designed to make trips more frequent and reliable, is now on hold as authority officials plan for a fare increase and deep cuts in transit service. The decision to halt the Bus Revolution program was characterized as an indefinite “suspension.”

SEPTA officials are set to propose a "historically high fare increase" and "major service cuts" as the agency grapples with a $240 million budget deficit.

SEPTA is pressing forward with more fare hikes and service cuts in 2025 amid its ballooning budget deficit.Why it matters: The agency is facing the beginning of a "transit death spiral," COO Scott Sauer told reporters Tuesday.
