@SEPTA_SOCIAL Thanks. The usual: staffing shortages. 😞

[Philly Commuter @CommuterPhilly]

@SEPTA_SOCIAL I am on the SB Ridge Spur. We just left Erie Station. There is no air conditioning in the first car and it’s hot already. The train number is 547. There also seems to be delay. Any explanation for it?

[Philly Commuter @CommuterPhilly]

@SEPTA_SOCIAL GM,
Can you tell me of the SB 22 bus that’s supposed to get to Olney TC at 8/08 AM is canceled?

@SEPTA_SOCIAL GA,
I’m on a NB 8th & Market train and unlike most days through the winter, the heat is on and the temperature outside is 72°, so it is miserably hot on this train. I don’t see a train number, but we left Fairmount at 4:57 PM. Can this be reported to someone?

@astropriestesss I’m a Pisces rising and I’d swear that it felt like mercury retrograde for a few weeks now.

[Philly Commuter @CommuterPhilly]

@DKAstrology I’m a Pisces rising and it feels like it started 3 weeks ago for me.

[Philly Commuter @CommuterPhilly]

@SEPTA_SOCIAL Wow! I could’ve gotten to work by now if I dint catch the 16 bus. Thanks.

[Philly Commuter @CommuterPhilly]

@SEPTA_SOCIAL I was among a crowd that was told to evacuate the BSL at Olney TC due to a die in the tunnel. Is the whole system shut down or can I catch the subway at Erie? I need to catch the Ridge Spur.

[Philly Commuter @CommuterPhilly]

@SEPTA_SOCIAL A fire.

[Philly Commuter @CommuterPhilly]

@SEPTA_SOCIAL The operator said we’d switch over at Erie, but we did not. We’re on our way to Girard. I have no idea what’s going on and how are other riders supposed to know?

[Philly Commuter @CommuterPhilly]

@SEPTA_SOCIAL Is Septa going to let the riders know about the massive BAL delay right now? I got to Olney TC at 8:13. The Ridge Spur didn’t pull off until 8:24. Then, we became a local until Girard. We’re supposed to still be going to 8th & Market, but I’m not sure.

[SEPTA @SEPTA]

B2: Southbound service is experiencing delays due to mechanical issues at Erie Station.

[Philly Commuter @CommuterPhilly]

@SEPTA_SOCIAL GM, Is the 8th & Market train running? There is a very large crowd on the SB platform at Olney TC.

[SEPTA @SEPTA]

B2: One northbound train will operate as a B1 train at Girard Station due to earlier mechanical issues.

[Philly Commuter @CommuterPhilly]

Did a bunch of train operators call out today?

[SEPTA @SEPTA]

B2: B2 service is suspended until further notice due to operator unavailability. Find alternate routes using the Trip Planner on https://t.co/9SFObJGg1v or in the SEPTA App.

[Philly Commuter @CommuterPhilly]

@SEPTA_SOCIAL Hi, is this still in effect?

[SEPTA @SEPTA]

B1: Shuttle bus service will operate between Erie Station and Girard Station in both direction due to major medical emergency.  Trains will operate between Fern Rock Transit Center and Erie Station and also between NRG Station and Girard Station. Delays are expected

[Philly Commuter @CommuterPhilly]

@SEPTA_SOCIAL Thanks.

[Philly Commuter @CommuterPhilly]

@SEPTA_SOCIAL Can you tell me anything about Ridge Spur service? We’ve been waiting at 8th & Market for quite a while. There have been no announcements.

[Philly Commuter @CommuterPhilly]

🔁🔁 Yesterday & today

[Philly Commuter @CommuterPhilly]

@SEPTA_SOCIAL I’d like to make a complaint. The SB Ridge Spur is not running according to schedule these days in the 8 AM hours on weekdays. I was waiting from 8:12 AM until 8:23 AM at Olney TC. They are supposed to run every 7 minutes. One should’ve left at 8:13 AM and 8:20 AM.

[Philly Commuter @CommuterPhilly]

@VanLathan I choose to believe he did it just yesterday!

[Philly Commuter @CommuterPhilly]

The B3 left at 8:01 AM. I just missed it. The next came at 8:10 AM. Meanwhile, it’s scheduled to come at 8:05 AM and 8:13 AM.
