Beginning Sunday, Aug. 24, SEPTA will discontinue several bus stops on 48th Street between Walnut St. and Baltimore Ave., the portion of the street used by the Routes 64 and 411. The following stops will be discontinued: Locust St., Pine St., Osage Ave., Hazel Ave., and Cedar Ave.
The reason for the stop elimination is traffic safety as part of the 48th Street Traffic Safety Project, according SEPTA. The construction stage began last year and included an installation of a parking-separated bike lane and traffic-calming measures.
SEPTA will also begin implementing service cuts throughout its transit network starting this Sunday due to a lack of state funding. Read more here about the service cuts in West Philadelphia.

I had been badgering the Septa Social team about this on Twitter. There’s a huge reduction in stops in the neighborhood because of the “realigning” in April and now this. It’s just forcing more crowding at the 48th and Baltimore stop. And it makes it even harder to try and run to the stop considering the distance between Larchwood and Baltimore and then Baltimore and Warrington. I had never known this bus route to have that many problems for this to be a “solution” There are much worse turns and streets this bus has to get through for them to do this to the stops in my neighborhood.
