I heard that they won't be striking on Sunday. So that's a good thing.

Also, I pulled this info from the DVRPC's website on approved projects from stimulus funding:

SEPTA intends to extend into the remaining stations, the fiber optic cable that currently runs in the tunnels. This is to facilitate the Smart Stations and Smart Card technology.

This was discussed a few months back, great to see progress being made. I for one am ecstatic that SEPTA is finally getting on the ball for electronic fare processing.
