It's been discussed at length in this forum that SEPTA has no operating rights outside the area which is taxed to support the service: Philadelphia, Bucks, Montgomery, Delaware, and Chester Counties. (The State of Delaware kicks in something for the Wilmington/Newark service.) Extending SEPTA service to any of these other places would require those jurisdictions to bring money to the table, and there doesn't seem to be any movement in that direction, nor any inclination in the Legislature to deal with the situation on a statewide basis.
