Operative words

Starting on Thursday, April 9, SEPTA will move to a new 'Lifeline Service Schedule,' operating as much service as possible with our healthy and available employees, but with limited lines and routes. SEPTA is now asking all riders to wear masks or other facial coverings, consistent with new CDC guidelines, to protect both riders and operators.... Access to stations will be limited, and SEPTA police will engage customers to ensure that they are traveling for essential purposes. 'If you are not traveling to an essential job or for urgent personal business like a medical appointment, you need to stay home and help us preserve service and space for those who need it most,' Richards said.
