The Court Decision Of The Century

Oh! Later today a judge will decide whether SEPTA is allowed to eliminate transfers, which Mayor Street says are used by kids going to one of the city’s horrible public schools.

As you may remember, the judge issued an emergency stay of the elimination of transfers until today last week. This was probably so the judge could look over case law and figure out if SEPTA could get rid of ‘em, but I’d like to think he spent his week just starting at a token and a transfer and nothing else.

SEPTA Board chairman Pat Deon argues that few riders actually use the transfers: :”My understanding is that it affects probably six percent of our riders, which are occasional riders.”

My guess: A bunch of kids who “went to school” just spent their money on SEPTA novelties instead, like coasters and trading cards.
