As we all know, COVID-19 has been spreading across the globe and the United States. In the Philadelphia metro area:
SEPTA has implemented a reduced Saturday schedule for Regional Rail http://www.septa.org/notice/coronavirus-tips.html
They have also set up a partial used March pass buyback plan http://septa.org/pass-refund-info.html
The current projections are that this situation will continue possibly though August. NJ Transit it down by 40% for ridership as of time of writing. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles ... rompt-cuts Amtrak is down 40% ridership on the NEC https://media.amtrak.com/2020/03/amtrak ... vironment/
The Inky just posted an update as of 11:25 AM EDT, transit down 46% and Regional Rail down 68% https://www.inquirer.com/health/coronav ... 00317.html
Almost every university across the Greater Philadelphia region has become a cyber school for the next 3 to 4 months, and every business is moving toward working form home.
Simple question I have, will the state have to bail out SEPTA, and will ridership recover, and What does this mean for infrastructure renewal projects?
