SEPTA is restoring some bus and trolley routes used most by students, thanks to a subsidy from the city.

As the new school year began for Philadelphia public school students on Aug. 25, so did SEPTA service cuts, which reduced service up to 20 percent on most bus routes and eliminated some of them.

SEPTA announced that beginning Sept. 2, more buses and trolleys will be added to the following routes to improve their frequency:

14, 20, 23, 26, 47, 63, 67, 70, 82, T2 (Route 34), and T5 (Route 36).

SEPTA will also restore some eliminated bus routes, including Route 31 from Overbrook Park to 63rd and Market streets.

Phase I of SEPTA service cuts, which began on Aug. 24 because of the lack of state transit funding, has significantly impacted Philadelphia school students, according to the Philadelphia School District. 63 percent of District schools reported an increase in late arrivals this week, and 54 percent reported an increase in student absences.
