Reply to comment by KermieJagger in If PA can't work out a deal to fund transit when COVID relief runs out, there could be massive service cuts to transit again. Does anyone remember when something similar happened in 2007-2011 and how it affected things? I live in Philly but this could happen to us too and I'm curious what it's like by MrATLien

The ideal is shifting to an environment where people are using transit for things like shopping, errands, etc. That kind of ridership hasn't declined really, it's just that we had previously built transit systems around getting people to their jobs

Yep! So maybe they cut some of the commuter schedules heading into town but keep the routes that run between smaller communities, shopping areas, etc…
