SEPTA today issued its Service Interruption Guide to help riders figure out how to get around the city in the event of a strike this weekend.
While both SEPTA and Transport Workers Union Local 234 officials continue to strike an optimistic note about concluding contract negotiations this week, TWU head Willie Brown has pledged his members will walk out if no contract is agreed to by Friday.
A weekend walkout would guarantee gridlock around the stadium complex in South Philadelphia, where the Philadelphia portion of the World Series between the Phillies and the New York Yankees begins Saturday. Regional Rail trains, whose operators belong to a different union, will continue to serve Center City, but there are no Regional Rail stations in South Philadelphia, and the Broad Street Line, which carries Regional Rail riders to the ballpark, will be shut down for the duration of a strike.
The following services will not operate if TWU Local 234 goes on strike:
- The Market-Frankford Line
- The Broad Street Line and Broad-Ridge Spur
- City trolley routes 10, 11, 13, 15, 34, and 36
- All City Transit Division surface bus routes
- All Frontier District bus routes (Routes 90-99 in Montgomery County, Route 124, routes serving Bucks County, Route 206 and Route 304)
The following services will operate:
- All Regional Rail lines
- Suburban rapid transit and light rail (Norristown High-Speed Line, Routes 101 and 102)
- All Victory District bus routes (Routes 103-125) except Route 116, with modifications made for routes that operate into Philadelphia
- LUCY (Loop through University City) Green and Gold Loop buses connecting 30th Street Station with University City
