SEPTA will hold two open house meetings on Tuesday, February 27, 2018 to seek public comment and answer questions about its Fiscal Year 2019 Service Plan. The meetings will be held from noon to 1:30 pm and 5 pm. To 6:30 pm at SEPTA Headquarters, 1234 Market Street in the boardroom on the mezzanine level. New proposals to be discussed include the following bus routes:
Route 49
This proposal would establish a new bus route in the City of Philadelphia, which would operate from Strawberry Mansion, Brewerytown and Fairmount to Grays Ferry via University City.
Route 80
This proposal includes minor route realignments at each end of the route.
Route 88
This proposal would extend all trips ending at Holme and Pennypack Avenues to Frankford and Linden Avenues.
Route 96
A new terminus is being built by SEPTA on Railroad Avenue in Lansdale. This routing change would address access in and out of that location.
Route 129
An alternate routing is proposed to address overcrowding for passengers going to the Keystone Industrial Park in the morning peak.
Route 204, 205 and 20
Uptown Worthington, in Malvern, would be served on all trips by Route 204, as part of the base route. Route 205 would be discontinued in its entirety, with portions of the current route between Paoli Hospital and Swedesford Road added to a reconfigured Route 206.
