Your train is about to be derailed!
Your bus is about to run out of fuel!

If we don't get adequate, dedicated funding for septa by september, fares will rise by an average of 30% and service will be cut by 20%.

Examples:
-The cash fare will go up from $2.00 to $2.50, an increase of 25%
-Transfers will be eliminated so a token and transfer will go up from $1.90 to 2.80, an increase of 47%
-A weekly transpass will go up from $18.75 to $25.00, an increase of 33%
-A monthly transpass will go up from $70 to $105, an increase of 57%
-Zones 1 and 2 on the regional rail will be merged. A monthly combined zone 1/2 regional rail pass will go up from $70(zone1) or $106(zone2) to $143.50, an increase of 105% and 35%
-Many buses that now run every thirty minutes will now run ever sixty(route 27) or seventy minutes(route 22). Buses will be so full that many passengers will have to stand.
-Many trips will be eliminated (Three morning and 3 evening trips will be eliminated on route 35)
-Saturday service will follow the current Sunday schedule on many routes
-Sunday service on many routes will be heavily reduced or discontinued (route 19)

But you can put transit back on track!

Guys, this isn't a joke. If I'm getting this information, it's gonna happen. If you want to actually call/email legislators, I will post up all 203 names of our senators and representatives with names, phone numbers, and emails/websites.
