Shapiro will give SEPTA $153M in federal funding to avoid cuts and fare hikes

“SEPTA said Shapiro’s announcement allows it to avoid a 30% fare hike planned for Jan. 1. However, the Philadelphia-area agency will follow through on a plan to eliminate a discount for riders who use the system’s Key card to ride buses, trolleys, and subways. The Dec. 1 change amounts to a 50-cent increase for transit riders and higher fares for commuter rail users.”
