As the coronavirus pandemic drains SEPTA of riders and revenue, the agency is implementing a range of emergency cost-cutting measures.

Thousands of workers have been laid off at the Philadelphia International Airport. Airlines are seeking bailouts amid the coronavirus outbreak.

SEPTA subways, trains and buses will run less frequently in the Philadelphia region starting Sunday.

Philadelphia bike shops, declared an essential business and allowed to remain open are seeing a surge in demand from coronavirus-wary commuters.

SEPTA Police Chief Thomas Nestel said the force has instituted new practices to keep officers safe from the coronavirus but officers remain wary.

SEPTA will reduce Regional Rail service by 25% for the next two weeks and reductions are coming to city train and bus lines, too.

As ridership numbers drop, the SEPTA riders left on emptier trains take up new safety practices.

The ban will affect 7,300 flights — and more than 2 million airline seats — scheduled from 26 European nations to the U.S.

While coronavirus has city agencies on high alert and panicked people emptying shelves of hand sanitizer, Philadelphia’s bike-share program is riding high.

The authority’s new fare structure would provide one free transfer per trip. The $1 fee would be applied to the second transfer within a 90-minute window.

Even SEPTA officials didn’t know where the numbers came from.

One good thing may come from the coronavirus: cleaner trains and buses for SEPTA riders. 

Pennsylvania’s Department of Transportation is using cameras with radar to catch speeders in construction zones. First offense is a warning.

SEPTA set to announce a new fare structure, as transit advocates pressure the agency to make transfers free.

Philly International is not a designated “screener” location, but does have a CDC quarantine station.
