SEPTA’s Bus Revolution is Underway

Your Ride is About to Get More Reliable.

Let us show you how.

Fall 2022 engagement for SEPTA’s Bus Revolution is underway! Since releasing the Draft Network in early October 2022, we have held 10 in-person Open Houses and 3 virtual Community Conversations.

About Bus Revolution and SEPTA Forward:

Bus Revolution is a comprehensive redesign of SEPTA’s entire bus network to make buses more reliable, efficient, and simpler to understand and use. This project is a key part of the Authority’s strategic plan, SEPTA Forward, and our efforts to revamp our services and better connect people across the region.

Together with other SEPTA Forward projects, such as the Rail Transit Wayfinding Master Plan and Trolley Modernization, Bus Revolution is a game changing effort to proactively align transit services with the needs of a growing, changing region. Changes to the bus network will begin to be implemented in 2023.
