The suburban Fall schedules are out. http://www.septa.org/service/preview_schedules.html I am not sure if the 112 is a misprint or not but I do not see an increase in service over the current schedule. |

I never thought that they would break the 99 into 2 routes. I wonder as to how people in Phoenixville & Spring City are going to adjust to these changes. |

I would suspect that Phoenixville riders would be thrilled since there's later Sunday service to Norristown (99) and a more direct route to King of Prussia (139). Not to mention a more direct connection to Pottstown buses at Limerick as opposed to travelling from Phoenixville to Norristown to catch the 93. I'd suspect, though, that they'd be less than thrilled if SEPTA started running Chumps on the 139. Now, if they'd only come up with a direct ride between West Chester and Phoenixville (to that end, if I were running SEPTA, the 306 would be extended from Great Valley to Phoenixville; the West Chester to Brandywine Town Center routing would be picked up by the 314). |

Improvements to the 112 take effect in November. |

Well, I'd have lost the bet, but I took a look at the 27 schedule that will start on 8/31 and was surprised to see 5-minute inbound headways in the AM! Also, many more runs starting at Barren Hill instead of Plymouth Meeting - good and bad, since the Port Royal starts are history and 3 trips go into service at Ridge & Summit. PM peak is also improved (8 minute street in the thick of the peak). I would guess that the 40' buses are going to be the norm. Why SEPTA isn't touting this as an improvement is beyond me. The NW is the only area of the City that wasn't included in the enhanced service publicity. Now if we can only get another trip or two on 62... |

On the 20, they have a trip which pulls out of Comly Depot and goes to the mall instead of starting at FTC...lol..The 8 bus is now a scheudle and no longer a piece of cardboard and the 26 leaves 15 and 45 after the hour from FTC |
