If people can't walk one block.....well, it doesn't need to be said. Anyway, I have an idea for Bucks Co and NE Phila that could save SEPTA a good amount of money and help increase service in the suburbs:
Combine the bus routes of major NE Phila lines and Bucks Co bus lines:
14 and 127
20 and 130
58 and 128
84 and 129
67 and 304
Not all buses would travel the full length of the route, but this consolidates buses (it gets rid of those horrible El dorados) and allows for less drivers. Plus, this increases bus serivce in Bucks Co which has the potential to really add good ridership to SEPTA. One of the marketing schemes could be the 20 as a way for Newtowners to get to NY by getting on the 20 and then connecting to the 14 to Trenton. And this would be better than cutting bus trips by 20% becuase this would cut down the frequency of the trips but also increase ridership. This can also be done on the Chester/Montgomery and Delaware Co lines as well.
What do ya think?
