Fully agree. Lately, the bus route I use will either never show up or 3 buses will come through back to back. Then the transit app will say the next bus will be 30 minutes. I’ve called multiple times and they give the same old excuses “we’re experiencing driver shortages due to Covid” which I don’t believe. I’m sure it’s about pay. But whatever it is, septa needs to be more reliable.

That's the generic message they give, very often as you can see, but the problem with that message is that it's not even reliable because you don't know which bus it's referring to. So if a operator isn't available to drive for whatever reason, every bus they're supposed to drive during their shift doesn't go out but you don't know which ones those are. Also, there isn't even a notification sometimes.
