Reply to comment by MrATLien 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

Not much. They brought back some trips and variations cut. But not wholesale restorations. This was done pre-COVID, but they were hampered by a lack of buses to restore service and out of room at their existing active garages to acquire more buses. Then, they pretty much used every bus they had available during peak periods. Of course since then ridership levels have tanked.
