SEPTA would like to alert customers of changes to its plans for fare increases and Regional Rail service cuts that were scheduled to go into effect beginning September 1. Per a ruling from Common Pleas Court on Friday, SEPTA was ordered to halt any further additional service cuts and fare increases that were not already in place as of Friday, August 29.
