SEPTA is getting $643M in federal coronavirus aid

SEPTA lifted capacity limits on transit last week, yet signs of social distancing mandates remain. Not everyone is unhappy that the habit could survive.

The CDC order allows transit operators to refuse service to unmasked riders. SEPTA said it won’t do that but it urges compliance.

One Philadelphia bus line is experiencing crowding, according to its riders. The issue points to concerns about how to safely ride transit during a pandemic.
