Philadelphia’s transit system SEPTA is cutting service by 20% & eliminating 32 bus routes, since state legislators failed to fund the agency

That is the same thing they did in Denver Métro. Underperforming buses gone, now whole swaths of the suburbs have to Uber to the remaining stations. That makes no sense, at all, especially because Denver traffic is starting to bé a 24/7 jam and any motion towards mass transit benefits everyone.
Similar thing is happening in Louisville KY. It's infuriating.
