351 Julia HeberleTransfers are crucial for my two school children to return home from school.

354 Vivianne T. NachmiasI work with children, mostly poor, and think it is very bad indeed that they might have to pay double to get to school OR to even go on an educational trip with teachers in or after school. I'm retired and pay nothing to go in non rush hours on SEPTA... maybe retirees could pay half fare as in NYC
355 Sarah JamesI know many people who need transfers to get to school and work. We need to encourage use of public transportation, not discourage it! Do we want even more cars on the expressway?
356 John AscenziI and my family have ridden SEPTA for more than 50 years. I have never been impressed with SEPTA's willingness to be open and honest with the public. This decision is another such example of the agency's high-handedness. SEPTA has finally received dedicated state funding. It needs to reverse its ill-considered decision on transfers.
357 Barbara TilleyWe desperately need measures to be taken to insure that low income people and CHILDREN, for God's sake!!, can get to their jobs and to school. These people have a bad enough row to hoe, and we should be ashamed of ourselves if we don't consider helping them to succeed and be productive as a TOP priority!

360 keishacharging people for transfers is ungodly!
361 JAne FriedmanKeep transfers. those most vulnerable citizens need it the most and that who septa serves, the people. Not the board or Harrisburg.
362 AnonymousPlease keep the transfer program as it is! Any changes will negatively impact thousands of riders and cause great hardship!
363 Roberta Riggins
364 Carol HemingwayTaking away transfers as a way to estasblish an electronic system does not resolve the issue about the need for Septa to work with the community organizations to design services that will best provide quality ridership for its members

366 AnonymousI think it time for someone to fight for the travelers! I ride the train and it is becoming impossible for me to keep up with the increases as they relate to my pay raises!

369 Margaret SawyerI ride SEPTA everyday and I know a lot of us count on SEPTA for low-cost transportation. Save the transfers!
370 Frank T. Innes Jr.Transfers must be reinstated until an automated electronic fare collection system is in place.
371 Saundra StoyanoffI'm a senior, but I know what a hardship the loss of transfers and the extra money that would entail would be to the working poor and our students. I hope that people will keep up the fight against SEPTA's inequities whenever and wherever.

376 Sydney EppsI have thought about starting a campaign against SEPTA, because I know about transportation systems across the US, and SEPTA is indeed the worst in the country. I HATE SEPTA for what they have done to the lives of Philadelphians in the past decade. Strikes, fare hikes, and poor service are the only things that SEPTA is known for.

378 Ellen SlackI resent SEPTA's efforts to spin this issue, to make it appear that they are doing riders a favor by trying to force everyone toward buying weekly/monthly passes. I only need transfers occasionally, but as a weekday-only SEPTA user, commuting with two transfers per day would still cost a little less than a weekly pass.
379 Sae GordanI think that the transfer should not be elimnated.
380 chris paigeThere must be better ways to raise funding -- other than making bus and subway travel punitively expensive! This hurts the people who need public transit the most.
381 Antoinette M. McMillanPlease save the SEPTA transfers in order for the City riders as well as the school students to be able to afford it. It is just totally insane that SEPTA is even considering such a move. Also, it is well over due that another Transit Agency be allowed to come into Philadelphia beside SEPTA, so if and when SEPTA should decide something like this in the future, there will be a back-up Transit Agency for the City riders to utilize.
382 David Mosenkis
383 Carol PasquarelloThe elimination of transfers will affect the majority of Septa riders, especially students - not just minorities.
384 Karen PollittI totally agree that the Seota Board reverse its decision to eliminate transfers. This city only has one bus service. Just think if another bus service would surface. Would Septa appreciate their riders more.

386 PAULETTE REEDIT IS RIDICULOUS FOR SEPTA TO BREAK THE BACKS OF THE PEOPLE THAT NEED THEM THE MOST. SEPTA IS A NECCESSITY AND A CONVENIENCE. PLEASE STOP TRYING TO CHANGE IT INTO A LUXURY.
387 MonicaI have 4 children who go to middle school and high school. The take 3 busses to school each way which means a total of 6 busses a day. School tokens cost $9 a pack for 10 tokens each and transfers come free with school tokens. Now, if transfers are eliminated, instead of paying $36 per week for my kids to get to school, I'll need to buy them transpasses and pay a total of about $84 per week. SEPTA is rediculous.
