These are great questions. I’ll share that as transit advocates, sometimes our perspective is different than that of a transit agency like SEPTA.

For SEPTA’s answers to your questions, I would recommend reading their guide to the New Bus Network here: https://wwww.septa.org/initiatives/bus/

For our responses, this article covers many of the areas you are asking about: https://www.transitforwardphilly.org/nbn_plan

If you have any other questions, I’d be happy to connect or try to direct you to the right place at SEPTA to share your thoughts.

Thanks again for reaching out,

Stephen

Subject: Fw: Like To Conduct Interview On The New Septa Bus Network ’26
To: <admin@transitforwardphilly.org>

My name is Mr. Christopher Saxon and I have a few questions about

the new Septa Bus Network that is happening in the fall of this year.

The questions are below:

1) SEPTA is thinking of eliminating some bus routes this year.

What does this mean for the future of the other bus routes?

2) Why is SEPTA eliminating these particular bus routes and calling it

a new SEPTA bus network?  Are they eliminating these bus routes because ridership is low?

3)  Is the new SEPTA bus network supposed to make riding the public transportation system easier?

Please answer these questions by e-mail when you are available and thank you for your time.
