>If they laid off all these people, they could afford to run septa and >probably have a surplus. SEPTAs problems are much greater than the cost of their labour. While every Philadelphian has their stories of rude SEPTA workers, most of them do their jobs very well in work conditions that most of us wouldn't choose. SEPTA is one of the most 'efficient' transportation providers in the country because of the states mandate that they recover 50% of their operating expenses from farebox revenue.
Slight misquote due to a miscut of me here. I said firing Tollbooth operators would free up a lot of transportation money would could be used for SEPTA. I mentioned nothing about firing SEPTA workers.
