<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: black; font-size: 14pt;">As you may have heard, our Comprehensive Bus Network Redesign is underway. This project, “SEPTA Forward: Bus Revolution,” will take a broad and detailed look at SEPTA’s
regional bus network with the goal of making it easier to understand and use. The project will take blank slate, top-to-bottom approach to reimagine SEPTA’s bus network.</span><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif; color:black"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></span></p>
