I might be naïve for getting some hope from this, but I would love to avoid service being cut. I don't really mind if fare gets increased.

Septa could be on par with European cities if it simply reduced its headway on transit. Maybe not on par, but roughly in the same league? I dream of a world where MFL and BSL get dropped down to 3 minute headway, and the busses down to 10-15 minutes.

I know a lot of the US is going backwards but please allow Septa to at least not get worse.
