SEPTA’s new transit schedules for fall 2013 go into effect on Sunday, Sept. 1. Most of these changes include minor timetable adjustments on bus and trolley routes designed to improve customer service, and also account for seasonal changes in ridership.
Timetables for some routes will go unchanged, with service remaining on existing schedules. As part of SEPTA’s effort to “Go Green” and control costs, new schedules have been printed only for routes on which there will be timetable adjustments. For routes that are unchanged, customers can continue to refer to their current schedules.
All new and existing schedules are available at customer locations. SEPTA also has all new schedules available for viewing and printing on a special section of its website. Please visit https://www.septa.org/schedules/upcoming.html for more information.
