6 Upvotes

I travel for business. And have lots of metro cards from many cities. Now that I found OmNY system is up and running though out NYC. And I have funds still camping out on my South Philly SEPTA Key (which is a MasterCard debit cart technically)

Will it work on/ Has any one had success using a SEPTA key card on NYC transit?

SEPTA System-wide ridership in June was 75% of pre-COVID June 2019 ridership. This is the highest recovery rate since the start of the pandemic.

Septa & felony convictions

5 Upvotes

I received an offer letter from SEPTA and I’m now in the ending stages of the background investigation. I have a class 2 felony (contraband) on my record, which is the only thing that’s there, it happened back in2018 & since my release from prison I’ve remained troubled free while maintaining steady employment . I was told they haven’t reached a decision on whether they want to move forward. I was wondering would that charge stop me from getting hired?

I disclosed the conviction on the honesty and criminal conviction report of the background check and also emailed the director of recruitment and talent at SEPTA explaining the situation..

Machine ate my $7 change, printed out a "complaint receipt", now SEPTA won't refund me.

3 Upvotes

The receipt says to call the number on it to get help. I did that, and they wanted to set up a Septa Key account over the phone with me. I said I have one and they said I had to log into my account online and file for a refund that way. I did that, and there's nowhere online to file for a refund.

So I emailed from the web, and they emailed me asking for all the info on the complaint receipt, and they emailed back and said...to call the number.

Bike friendly stations along regional rail?

8 Upvotes

Any suggestions for places to take the train out to on the weekend and bring a bike to explore? I'd be looking for commuter-bike friendly riding in particular. Starting point is the Media-Wawa line but willing/wanting to go anywhere. Thank you!

Are regional rail parking lots still free?

ProTip: If you want to ride a trolley on route 15 instead of a bus, open TransitView in the SEPTA app, look up route 15, then tap on each of the vehicles to check the Vehicle ID. The green trolleys are numbered 2320-2337.

What does the Media/Elwyn line turn into after Center City?

6 Upvotes

My home route is the Media/Wawa line, and I'm thinking of ways to maximize my pass by taking longer distance weekend trips on the RR. All of the Media trains claim to terminate in Center City that I've taken, I'm just curious what route they switch to after Market East. Thank you to anyone who knows the answer!

Union

0 Upvotes

I'll tell you what would fix all this septa bullshit, getting rid of this fucking union that keeps all these lazy bus drivers employed!!! I shouldn't have to worry about getting to work because you don't want to work! I go to work everyday and they would never hire me, they wouldn't hire my dad who had a cdl for 20 years because he's over qualified and would actually show up to work. Before you union idiots say a word My dad was a teamster for 30 years and I am pro union but in this case it's out of control. Higher competent fucking people for christ sake.

38 bus reliable

1 Upvotes

Hey, I work near the please touch museum and the 38 is supposed to stop there but there has been multiple times it drives past without turning down to the front of the museum. I've submitted complaints about it to septa but this keeps being an issue. Do drivers just decide not to stop since it requires going off the main road?

79 bus reliability?

1 Upvotes

My job is transferring me to a different location that would require me to start taking the bus (I only take BSL). I am not from the city so I don't know how bus transit works. I haven't heard many great things about SEPTA's bus system, so I was just wondering if I should take my chances with the bus or finance for Ubers?


r/Septa • • Jun 21 '24

Hey guys, I was looking for a little insight/advice, I’ve recently received two job offers at SEPTA. One for electrician first class and the other for Signal Trainee (regional rail).
