What should I say?
Just say what you've dealt with on SEPTA, what you want them to do and that every rider deserves a seat. Here's an example:“My name is ________ and I ride the 23 and the subway and I support the Transit Riders' Union. I’ve had to deal with crowded buses through the pandemic, sometimes so crowded that I would just get off and wait for the next bus. I want SEPTA to run more buses on the crowded route 23. If I’m paying the fare, I should get a seat.”

{ "name": "" } org@phillytru.org operatingbudget@septa.org SEPTA operating budget During the pandemic, the Route 23 bus and others were often crowded and passing up riders. Coming out of this pandemic, I want SEPTA to respect me, as a rider. SEPTA needs a plan to run more service when lines are crowded. After everything transit riders and workers have been through, a “return to normal”– overcrowded buses running infrequently– is unacceptable. Every rider deserves a seat.
