Forget “Deck the Halls” – at SEPTA it’s “Deck the Trolleys” with twinkling lights, wreaths and bright ornaments. During the holiday season, passengers will be transported to a winter wonderland on one of several festive trolleys adorned by the authority’s operators.
“This is one way our operators spread holiday cheer along their routes,” said Kim Scott Heinle, SEPTA Assistant General Manager for Customer Service and Advocacy. “After a long day at work or returning home from the hustle and bustle of shopping, customers always have to smile when they see the decorated trolleys pulling into the stop.”
Operators use their own decorations and trim their trolleys on their own time, all to make the season brighter for their passengers. In addition to the lights, trees and garland, holiday tunes can be heard throughout the cars.
