SEPTA is planning to build a better bus network in Philadelphia. The project, called “Bus Revolution,” was first announced last month and includes a series of pop-up and virtual events to inform the public and gather feedback.

As part of this project, residents are invited to fill out an online survey, which focuses on “trade-offs.” People are asked to what degree they are willing to walk slightly farther for faster, more frequent bus service.

The Bus Revolution project will take approximately three years to complete. The first two years will be dedicated to planning and analysis. Implementation is expected to take place in 2023.
