SEPTA driving in the wrong direction?

The following is an excerpt from an e-mail I got from Marc Stier -- the main person behind PennaTransit.com.

I am steaming about SEPTA’s willingness to accept a fare increase as part of a transit bailout (see today’s Inky) and also about my inability to find one state representative or senator who is cares enough about helping the poor folks in this city who will be killed by fare increases willing to play hardball with the Republicans who keep talking about the importance of funding roads and bridges. (Playing hardball to me would be introducing a bill that repeals the gas tax increase that went into effect in January and that instead puts tolls on the expressway and routes 309 and 202 to pay for roads and bridges.)
