SEPTA tailors Twitter accounts so users can follow specific routes

Nothing like seeing a tweet from SEPTA in the morning and thinking, please, transit gods, don’t let the delay be on my route.

To avoid false alarms, SEPTA is rolling out multiple Twitter accounts so riders can receive only the updates they want. On Oct. 31, the authority will go live with more than two dozen accounts providing real-time updates on bus, trolley, subway and regional rail lines.

Follow just your train, trolley or subway line, or all the bus routes. For frequent SEPTA explorers, the general @SEPTA account will still be on line providing every update you could ever need.
